One of my goals in the hobby is to one day own a WJ card, in any condition aside from torn to pieces. (he and my favorite character in baseball history, Rube Waddel)

65 of his losses were by shutouts, 26 of them 1-0 scores still amazes me. It's also interesting how Johnson was left out of the early caramel sets.

The ball field where Walter Johnson played in Fullerton is still there. Both Babe Ruth & Johnson played in nearby Brea, ca.

I live in Fullerton and go by where Johnson played everyday.

Default M113 baseball magazine premium
hi Clint and Doug, i am hardly the ebay sleuth, but i have not seen this version available since i picked it up over a decade ago, i think. It was in an auction with a large group of other M114 types, so I had to overpay for the lot to get this copy. I would think that there would have to be other copies that are still out there. Good luck with the hunt!

One of my 'Double Walters' (which I got from Leon himself if memory serves):

I second that thought, I need that version for my collection.

Here is my (different version) m113.

The caption reads "Arm of world's speediest pitcher. Johnson throws a ball 122 feet per second. This arm is reported to earn $12,500 yearly salary"

To save you all from digging out your calculators, 122 fps = 83 mph.
