Moments and musings on events, fights, and flights

It preserves period voice and named figures while avoiding graphic detail.

Twenty years ago Walter Johnson joined the Washington ball club and since then has tallied 3 442 strikeouts. He held the record with 2 838 in 22 seasons while pitching 111 shutouts. Johnson pitched 56 consecutive scoreless innings in 1913 against five teams and shut out the Yankees in 27 innings across September 1908.

The only remaining mark is Cy Young’s lifetime record of just over 500 wins in 22 years, a feat Walter must continue to pursue for several more seasons.
