That very first day, Catcher
Charley Street coined an expression
about Walter Johnson's speed that
has carried on through these years.
Whenever a player was set down on
strikes with Johnson pitching, and
many Of them wended their way back
to the bench over that route when he
was in his prime, the player invari

You can't hit what you can't see."
