Backstroke, not to take anything away from Ruth, but in all fairness, Johnson didn't have the team support that Ruth did with Boston. Three of those games were either 1-0 or 2-1. To hold the 1916 world series champions to a total of 4 runs in 3 games is an indication of what type of pitcher Johnson was. Holding the Senators to 1 run isn't much of an accomplishment. I'm sure that had Johnson played for Detroit, there could possibly be a much different result.
