That's what I said to myself. Besides the older fields and other esthetics, it's the one game that resembles itself the most 100 yrs later.

I know walter was the Mgr and is just screwing around here but its amazing how he generated so much speed and control with his throwing style when he pitched. Even in game film. So smooth but lethal.

He's just casually instructing and in his 40s but you can see how he'd generate tremendous speed with that side arm motion if he put a little mustard on it.

They were 92 and 62 coming in 3rd. Hit .286 as a team but no power with only 49 homers and little speed with only 72 stolen bases. The team was second in the league with a 3.76 era with 60 complete games. They were first in fielding% at .976 which was amazing with those little gloves.

Griffith Stadium had much to do with their lack of overall team power.

1930 to 32, Johnson won 94, 92, and 93 games in a 154 game season. Over 60% and one 2nd and two 3rd place finishes and he was fired.

Great video! I always thought that Walter Johnson is one of the best pitchers ever!

Was that Altrock and Schact? Classic stuff! Great to see Big Train whipping that effortless curve. As much as I believe that Lefty Grove was the greatest pitcher of all time, I’d be a fool to lament having Walter Johnson on the mound. This man won over 400 Major League Baseball games!

He won his ONLY World Series 3 years before he retired in a game 7 … he pitched the last scoreless innings … for a pitcher this is like hitting the buzzer shot 😊

Johnson was a very big man. If he had put his full weight into his throw not telling how fast he could have pitched.
@TheBreakBrothers 3 ай бұрын
From what I’ve read using math to time the ft/sec from footage that threw his fastball 93-95mph. Combine that with the side or 3/4 arm angle he threw at, it had to be nasty.

Ad Liska was a submarine pitcher, like we later would see (some more pronounced than others) with Pat Neshek, Kent Tekulve, Chad Bradford, Dan Quisenberry and Adam Cimber

@@lloydkline1518 true. But , in my opinion , even during regular season play , the pitching, on average , was significantly slower and less lively, than today.
