Walter Johnson's First Game - August 2, 1907


Walter "The Big Train" Johnson 1907 rookie year wasn't the greatest. He went 5-9 for a Washington Senators team that didn't even sniff the pennant that year. His first game was part of a double-header against the Detroit Tigers where he faced Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers who went on to World Series that year. He had a no-decision this game as the Tigers won 3-2. Walter Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936. This box score was taken from the Philadelphia Record.
