When Randy Johnson pitched his perfect game, he spent the whole post game interview talking about what a good job his catcher did. Class act

[channingchills]

It’s often stated how Michael Phelps physiologically and anatomy make him almost tailor-made for competitive swimming. I think the same can be said about Randy Johnson, but even more so. His stature, exceptional limb length, fast twitch muscles, and mullet/mustache combo make him the ideal specimen for being a power pitcher.

Fun fact, the Diamond backs had (maybe still do, haven't followed them in years) a promotion with a local gas station that whenever their pitchers struck out 10 batters in a game, every fan in attendance would get a coupon on the way out for a free drink. They also, at that time, had a section that was their "dollar" seats, high bleacher seats you could buy on the day of the game for a single dollar. Whenever the Big Unit was pitching and we were in the area anyway, my friends/family would always buy a bunch of dollar seats, watch the game, and enjoy a bunch of large drinks on the way home, all for a buck. He never once, in any game we attended, failed to earn those drinks for us.

The most insane thing of all about The Big Unit: he debuted at age 25, yet he really didn't put it all together and become the phenom we know until *age 29.* Had he been able to do it at a younger age, he'd probably be looking at well above 5000 K's and well above 300+ wins.

Mr. Johnson is also an amazing photographer and one of the nicest guys I have ever met!!!!

[ProofintheDoof]

The way he would stare at hitters walking back to the dugout. He wanted them to understand they had no chance. He always honored his Dad as well. He’s a good man.

[joshhigdon]

Hard to see people either too young to remember him, or just not realize how much of a presence he had on the mound. Truly one of a kind

[NigelThornbery]

I can’t believe Johnson threw 160 pitches in a game. Dudes a beast.

[jamesdenning]

A small correction: Randy's dad died during back surgery and was not directly heart related. He was a heavy smoker which caused him to have an undetected aortic aneurysm which ruptured during surgery. I golfed with Bud as he and Randy's mom Carol were close friends with my in-laws. In 2019 she used to call my 95 year old (at home hospice patient) mother in law and they would talk for hours. Randy's parents were fun-colorful folk and I am sorry Bud didn't get to see Randy's career play out.

[chrispruett]

He is a HUGE reason my Diamondbacks ever won a championship!! Randy the GOAT!!

Being a 90's kid in Seattle was so great. Seeing Jr and RJ in the Kingdome? Absolutely mint.

We can never have too many documentaries about Randy Johnson, one of the most dominating and fascinating players in Major League Baseball history. I was only fortunate to watch him pitch in person once, and it was near the end of his career. However, it was his 300th win, and watching him reach that amazing milestone was enough for me to become a lifelong fan! It's fun to watch him dedicate his time and energy into his original love of photography now that he's retired.

One small nitpick about the video. He was only 40 when he threw his perfect game, since that came on May 18, 2004 and his 41st birthday wouldn't come until September 10, 2004. He did get a win on his 41st birthday: a 2-1 win over the Giants that was the 243rd of his career! And he still made it to 300! Amazing!

My friends and I watched probably 60 DBacks games in 2001, as bullpen seats were $11 and I had a friend who was a beer vendor. We were treated to back-to-back pitching gems from Johnson and Curt Schilling. If there has ever been another pitching duo that was as good or as competitive, I would be shocked.
I was fortunate enough to attend games 2 and 6 of that world series, both Johnson starts. What a season, and what a pitcher!

[lendersbagels]

As a young 5’ nothing south paw, in the 90’s, Randy and Ken Griffey Jr were my hero’s.

[lordsangone]

I dont think any player, let alone a pitcher will ever hit a bird in a game ever again. Its only fitting that a legend like Randy Johnson is the one who actually did it. What a pitcher and human being. I was blessed to watch him pitch while growing up in the 90's.

[DannerBanks]

As a Mariners fan, Randy Johnson will always hold a special place in my heart. That guy has a look that could kill

[MrDuceOwen]

Fun fact Randy is a great photographer and a fan of the band Coheed and Cambria. Upon discovering this they invited on a tour date as a stage photographer.

[davewilliams]

Growing up as a DBacks fan Randy was truly a blessing to us. Didn't really realize how lucky I was to be able to witness such greatness. That slider was one of the deadliest pitches ever.

[Neoreaver]

Golden-era Diamondbacks memories here... The guy is literally a legend, and I can't imagine having to have faced him. That World Series is still burned into my head; I just wish we would have kept the old colors.

[cmlisk]

Man I haven't thought about Randy Johnson in a very long time, this man was truly a legend, I never realized he was 6'10 when I was younger jeez!
