Walter Johnson. The Big Train. Back in the early 1900's, this guy was an amazing pitcher. But he was also an unbelieveably good sport. If he should accidentally hit you, he'd jog off the mound and help you up. He also had an amazing fastball. One well known slugger (I can't remember his name at this hour in the morning) sat down after he had an 0-2 pitch count. The ump reminded him that he still had one strike left, and the batter replied that it really didn't matter, he'd never hit it anyway. Talent, great personality, yeah, I'd go with him.
