“This boy throws so fast you can’t see ‘em and he knows where he is throwing, because if he didn’t there would be dead bodies all over Idaho.”-Joe Cantillion, on Walter Johnson
Coffeyville Whirlwind is one of the many nicknames coined by newspaper writers to describe Walter Johnson.
Johnson played for the Washington Senators from 1907-1927 and was one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball history.
CW is dedicated to covering the franchise that Walter Johnson called his own for 20 years. The Senators, now known as the Minnesota Twins, are a team with a rich, but often forgotten history.
