Walter Johnson 99th shutout ticket
I just picked up a ticket stub to Walter Johnson's 99th career shutout- Opening Day 1924. Johnson still is the ML's shutout leader by a mile. He ended his career with 110 shutouts. His next closest competitor is Grover Cleveland Alexander with 90. To put this in perspective, HOF'er Nolan Ryan threw a lot of shutouts, but only ended up with 61......
This was a World Championship year for the Washington Senators; the only one that The Big Train ever won. This is the game that launched the Senators' push towards their eventual championship...
