Career
Johnson began his career with the Washington Senators in 1907 and quickly established himself as the most overpowering pitcher of his generation. Johnson's fastball was almost unhittable, and between 1910 and 1916, Johnson recorded over 200 strikeouts in every season, and recorded over 300 strikeouts three times. He was named the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1913 and 1924, and finished out his career with 3,509 strikeouts, a total which stood the most in baseball until the 1980s. He won 20 or more games ten seasons in a row, between 1910 and 1919, and twelve times total. In the last few seasons of his career, Johnson led the Senators to the World Series twice. In 1936, Johnson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its five inaugural members. -
