Walter Johnson was unbelievable early in his career, but he hurt his arm not too long into it and lost a lot of velocity (maybe from pitching both ends of a doubleheaders twice in three days).
He was also one of the nicest players of his era (which was known for hard-edged, nearly criminal play. cf. Ty Cobb). He made a habit of serving up easy pitches to batters who had never had a major league hit before, just so they could brag that they got their first off of the 'Big Train'.
