Walter Johnson was in his prime. Babe Ruth was very young. Ruth defeated Johnson 5 times in a row before he lost to the Big Train. Walter Johnson is considered one of the top pitchers of All Time, arguably the best.
I know I've tossed this info out a couple times before, but again for those who haven't seen it.
