Attractive Walter Johnson autographed cut and photo professionally authenticated and encapsulated by PSA/DNA. "The Big Train" has signed and inscribed this paper "Walter Johnson, Wash. Ball Club, Aug. 11th 1913." There is also a photo of Walter Johnson affixed to the paper making for a great display. Johnson pitched from 1907-1927 and established several pitching records, some of which remain unbroken nine decades after retiring from baseball. He remains by far the all-time career leader in shutouts with 110, second in wins with 417, and fourth in complete games with 531. He held the career record in strikeouts for nearly 56 years, with 3,508, from the 1927 end of his career until 1983. In 1936, Johnson was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame as one of its "first five" inaugural members.
