“The Big Train,” Walter Johnson, was one of the all-time great pitchers in baseball history. Johnson won 417 games and is still the career leader in shutouts with 110. After baseball, Johnson returned to his Maryland home and in 1938 was elected Montgomery County commissioner. He ran for Congress in 1940, but he finally ran into an opponent he couldn’t strike out – he lost to incumbent Democratic congressman William Byron. this 1 inch celluloid is from that 1940 race, excellent condition.
