"The Senators are the fifth team Johnny has pitched for in the past three years. Before joining Washington last season, he hurled three games for the Yankees without a decision.
Johnny's major league career began with the Cubs in 1941, and in '46 he led the National League with 135 strikeouts. In '48, his best year, he won 18 games.
When Johnny was a Cub, he consistently beat the Dodgers. Brooklyn couldn't beat him, so they bought him. Since 1952, Johnny hasn't given the Brooks any trouble at all- he's been in the American League."
