Walter Perry Johnson (November 6 1887 - December 10 1946) was an American right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball. Born in Humboldt, Kansas, he was a farm boy who grew up to become one of the major leagues' greatest stars. He was the second of six children and his family moved to Orange County, California in 1901, where he attended Fullerton High School. While pitching for Weiser in the semi-pro Idaho State League (and working for the local telephone company), Johnson was scouted and signed a contract with the Washington Nationals (later Senators) in July 1907 at age nineteen.
