Default NLFS: 1924 World Series Walter Johnson photo

Great shot of Walter Johnson batting in the seventh game of the 1924 world series, with Hank Gowdy catching and Bill Dinneen the umpire.

Johnson got up twice during his four-inning pitching stint to close out the series, driving a fly ball almost to the wall that would have ended the game in the tenth, then hitting a hard ground ball in the twelfth that shortstop Travis Jackson muffed to put him on first base just before Earl McNeely's hit to end the game.

It looks like he's fouling one off here. Trimmed to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. LOA from Walters grandson Hank Thomas included with the photo.

pp/ff includes priority shipping. Thanks for looking and PM me with any questions.
