Yeah, I bat left handed and would have definitely looked like Kruk in the all star game. I probably would have shit my pants.

I met Randy Johnson on accident. I was a freshman at ASU and I went to the ASU vs. Oregon volleyball match for extra credit in some class. Apparently Randy Johnson's daughter was on the Oregon team. It was chaos outside the stadium and some really tall guy and awkward guy asked me if he was in the correct line. I said yes and he got behind me. In my head I thought this guy looks like Randy Johnson. Only later after my friend said did you see Randy Johnson at the game. Did I realize I had talked to him and the guy actually was Randy Johnson. 😂😂 He was so unsure of himself in that situation. Totally the opposite of his bad ass self on the mound. What a humble cool dude and absolute stud.

On the mound he'd have an aura of dominance you could feel through the tv, our sitting room would be full of silent tension. I'd always though "Never want to meet that guy". Seeing him interviewed years later was amazed by how gentle and humble he was; he came across as a man who loved life and saw opportunity to learn from every mistake. Amazingly positive guy, think I kinda love him now.

Sickest fast ball slider combo in the history of ⚾

GOAT! 5x cy young dominated games During the steroid era and even after his prime. He was striking out over 300 a season and throwing no hitters in his late 30s with ease. Just a legend

Randy Johnson is a BEAST. Loved watching that man pitch.

20 K’s this guy was unbelievable. Imagine him in his prime on a good scoring team? 😯

7:24 seeing Randy Johnson in the homerun trot is the greatest thing ever. I was at that first game against the Pirates in 1998 in the Astrodome, way up in the rightfield upper deck. The place was packed and it was electric in that dome that day. It was the first I'd seen Randy live and it was memorable. We got him from Seattle as a mid-season rental and thought it would push us through to the World Series but unfortunately that didn't happen. But he fucking dominated the National League that season (and beyond). FUCKING UNIT BABY. One of the most dominant pitchers ever to grace a mound. Surly six-foot ten southpaw with a sizzling slider. Imagine facing him.

Got to see Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson make hitters look ridiculous in the steroid era. Got to witness them both pitch many times and saw Pedro's 1999 ASG performance live. Still have the ticket. So grateful to have watched these two work

As a Mariners fan who had the pleasure of watching him pitch for us for 3 years, let me tell you, I've never closely followed a pitcher remotely exciting as him, not even Felix Hernandez. Every one of his starts were like a rock concert, you knew he'd rack up 15 K's every night and make mashers look like fools. It sure was gut wrenching to see him go.

Love seeing ole' Randy again. When tosses those balls, he always squeezes tight. Back at LHS, couple of us guys wanted to break up his rhythm. Big Ricky and the Dirty Boyz, more Pepper than Jimmy, popped that treasure right open. Where he gets the nickname - Randy got a lot of experience with a Big Unit that summer.

Absolute BEAST!!!

DeSeanBBN He didn't play on very good teams for the most part. While he had excellent run support with the Mariners, he was about the only good pitcher the Mariners had and the awful bullpen frequently turned his wins into no decisions, and elsewhere he often suffered from meager run support.

growing up this man was my idol. I was born in 95 so I got to see a good bit of him play. Most of my favorite players in the early 2000's (mark mcgwire) have been exposed for steroids. It has really been hard for me to accept but its a testament to randy johnson that he was that good, for that long, and did it naturally.

I love Randy Johnson
