The term of "remarkable" is difficult to define. That is unless one checks the vast number of Baseball records set by the large number of them spanning baseball's long existence. Many sports writers would clearly say that Walter Johnson had a remarkable career. His career stands out and is certainly remarkable when one considers his overall pitching record with a sub-par team, the Washington Senators. Despite what is called support runs, Johnson's career stands at 416 wins vs 279 losses. That clearly speaks to his longevity but what is truly remarkable is that among his 416 victories, he had 110 shut outs!Not bad as he was playing with the Senators.
