Joe Wood, probably. Definitely Walter Johnson. I was a pitcher, so those were the guys I would've wanted at age 10-11. My problem was that I was terrible at pitching. I was afraid of a come-backer so I'd look great in practice then I'd hitch my throws and lose the plate facing live batters. Probably because I saw a teammate injured by a batted ball (took one off the face) and it was really scary to see his eye bleeding and swelling into something grotesque. I guess I should have tried a motorcycle helmet and kevlar body armor.
