  I know Garth is about to throw a fastball right down the middle of the plate, so I have to launch this pre-emptive strike to protect my new pitching hero, urlLink Mr. Walter Johnson . Mr. Johnson was not born on the East Coast, or California, or even Puerto Rico...Mr. Johnson was born in Humboldt, Kansas....that is right folks...Kansas.
I have a quote that makes our current Mr. Johnson ( urlLink Randy of the D-Backs ) shake in his boots...I think you will recognize the name of the player who said it: "The first time I faced him (Walter Johnson) I watched him take that easy windup and then something went past me that made me flinch. The thing just hissed with danger. We couldn't touch him....every one of us knew we'd met the most powerful arm ever turned loose in a ball park.
" - urlLink Ty Cobb Pitchers should be competing for the Walter Johnson Award, not the Cy Young. It's a shame a player of his magnitude does not get more credit. Oh, and for the record, he played his ENTIRE Major League Career for one team, the Washington Senators. He deserves the George Brett Award (display of notable team loyalty though could go to other team for much more money).
