Foreword by Shirley Povich. Nice inscription signed by the author on fep. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Henry W. Thomas did not know much about his grandfather, who died of tuberculosis soon after Thomas was born. He knew Walter Johnson was a famous pitcher for the Washington Senators early in the century. Thomas didn't know how famous until he discovered the Walter Johnson family scrapbooks at his mother's Virginia home. The scrapbooks taught Thomas a lot about Johnson, but he knew there was more. Thomas quit his job and began researching his grandfather's life. His work culminated with the private publication, and later trade publication, of Thomas' book, "Walter Johnson: Baseball's Big Train." Walter Perry Johnson (November 6, 1887 - December 10, 1946), nicknamed "Barney" and "The Big Train", was a Major League Baseball right-handed pitcher. He played his entire 21-year baseball career for the Washington Senators (1907-1927). He later served as manager of the Senators from 1929 through 1932 and for the Cleveland Indians from 1933 through 1935. Often thought of as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, Johnson established several pitching records, some of which remain unbroken nine decades after retiring from baseball. He remains by far the all-time career leader in shutouts with 110, second in wins with 417, and fourth in complete games with 531. He held the career record in strikeouts for nearly 56 years, with 3,508, from the 1927 end of his career until the 1983 season, when three players (Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan and Gaylord Perry) finally passed the mark., University of Nebraska Press, 1998, 3, Victoria & Albert Museum, 9/1/2003 12:00:01 AM. hardcover.
