The view of Johnson's motion is so cool. I've seen old footage of him warming up from field level POV, and in front, but this is a great angle. I'm amazed how hard he plants his front foot! It's almost like it's a break, pushing back hard on his left hip and triggering some serious upper body torque. Per earlier posts, I can imagine sidearm can be bad some, but maybe be good for others. My arm usually felt worse repeatedly throwing sidearm, but always used to hear (and believe) submarine (and of course underhand) is much easier on the arm overall. I think the arm (and most body parts) is finicky and varies a lot person to person.. And also if something's outa whack somewhere else (think Dizzy Dean's toe), may be more prone to injury regardless of style. As is, and given he lasted so long, I gotta think WaJo's twisting torso is generating most of his arm speed, and that plant leg is taking the most violent impact. I had knee surgery last week, so cringe seeing that old man ram his stick into the ground like that  .Regardless, awesome video, thanks for posting.

There is an interesting read in the sports section of today's Wash. Post newspaper re this recently discovered footage of the 1924 W.S. - here's the link to it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...-world-series/
Bucky Harris was in his first year as a MLB manager (player-manager, in fact) when his 1924 Senators (or Nationals, as they were often referred to) beat the Giants. This year, 90 years later, Matt Williams is in his first year as a MLB manager, and his Nationals are beginning their post-season right now against the Giants. I'm doing my best to believe in coincidences and history repeating itself - GO NATS!! Val
