Walter Johnson pitched 110 shutouts during his career (1907-1927). His career was mainly during the "dead ball" era, when a single ball was often used for an entire game and would often become deformed, dirty and often hard to see, as opposed to today's standard of changing the ball every few pitches. Johnson also had the distinction of being one of the first "power pitchers" (his fastball was measured at roughly 91 MPH, almost unique back then) and threw sidearm, so the pitches appeared to be coming from third base, which often confused right-handed batters.
