"The Big Train"
Shown here, baseball fans President Herbert Hoover and his wife Lou are photographed shaking hands with Walter Johnson at a baseball game in 1931. After playing his full twenty-year pitching career with the Washington Senators, Johnson became a manager in the International League. He then returned to Washington, where he served as the Senators' manager from 1928–1932, and returned again in 1939 as their broadcaster. |
