I met the big unit when he was still with the Indianapolis Indians. That day they let kids on the field to run the bases and meet the players. Randy was pitching that day and my dad got his autograph for me and my brothers, still have it. Randy went up to the bigs not much longer after that day.

Still remember watching him throw that pitch and hitting the bird! I was 14 yrs old, standing on the concourse, right behind the home plate seats. To me, it was the greatest baseball moment, from the greatest pitcher to play the game!

Randy was very fun to watch such a legend

Randy was my favorite pitcher growing up BY FAR, man was such a beast on the mound- very blessed and thankful to have got to see him play. 👍🙏

His voice sounds way different from what I remember as well.

I’ve never heard him speak and he sounds like Jesse Ventura.

Dude truly is a unit. Cool to see how passionate he is about his second act.

I heard a story several years ago that Randy had a big fan-boy moment, when he asked his favorite band, Rush, if he could photograph one of their concerts up close. Geddy Lee had a big fan-boy moment when he learned that Randy wanted to photograph them, and immediately said YES! It's always strangely surprising when a famous person in one profession turns into a fan-boy of a famous person in a different profession, and acts no different than the millions of non-famous in any profession fanboys do.

My favorite pitcher of all time. Amazing dude

I don’t know what I thought Randy Johnson sounded like, but it wasn’t this? Heh. Legend.

For one of the scariest looking guys in sports, Johnson seems like one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

I wasn't a big fan of watching baseball on tv but anytime Randy Johnson was pitching I'd watch it he made baseball fun to watch for me anyways

Absolutely great. I was on JV at Cal High when our varsity team played Livermore. Got to see the game. Randy started and smoked our Varsity squad. I was blown away. Never seen anything like it. A god amongst boys.

Super awesome man, he came to my buddies graduation party Randy is his uncle and man he was so awesome to meet

No wonder Randy has always been successful, whatever he is doing; he does it with passion. Goodonya!

Just watched the KZread video “The Inhuman Peak of Randy Johnson” yesterday. Such a great reminder how incredible this guy was and for how long. True legend

Favorite pitcher of all time. He was such an intimidating presence on the mound and in this interview the exact opposite great to see.

I was at that game, one of the coolest moments in a stadium I've ever had, everyone going "Oooooh" at one time. Lol

Small world. Worked as a contractor at Greeley hall and was around when the drone program was really kicking off in the early 2000s.

I don't remember Randy smiling this much in his whole career combined. What a great smile and laugh and attitude. I realize that he had to maintain his ever present scowl and demeanor in his role as a dominating pitcher, but I bet at home he was THIS person. Thank You, Randt, especially for all my AZ Diamondback memories, and a lifetime of unparalleled highlights and successes. What a guy!

Loved this! I live in Arizona and I am so proud of this gentleman.

"Where's my bag o' balls?" Has me crying 😂🤣

The bird makes sure he’ll never be forgotten, and the fact that he’s a legend on top of that makes it even more bad ass. It’s like “this MFer even takes birds out with extreme aggression” lmao

So much nostalgia from this guy. One of the best to ever do it. Mad respect

This dude was my hero when I was young, a lefty like me.

If it had to be one pitcher to vaporize a bird it would be Randy Johnson.

I love him more after this interview. Just such a cool dude

Big unit still got it. What a great interview, love how the dude has passion and talent that silently blesses others, as this guy is a retired stud and one of the best pitchers of all time. Great story.

Arguably, the most feared pitcher of all time. So grateful I grew up watching him in his prime

One of my favorite pitchers from growing up

Randy still sharp as a tack and looking well. Good for him.

I instantly thought of you and I can’t believe you just talked about this incident on Pat McAfee only 11 days ago!!! I am proud to be in the one in a billion bird smacking club!!! RIP Blackbird!!! 😢

That era of baseball is unrivaled

I’ve seen that video so many times growing up, always crazy to see

John Kruk.....I worked at a philly cheese steak store in ft Myers owned by Kruk, and I met him a few times, good guy!

I'm happy that he's doing what he loves. You can really tell that photography is his passion.

I didn't see the bird pitch live... Why would I be watching a spring training game? But I do remember when it happened. I was in high school and it's something I'll never forget.

Randy Johnson took the picture of the leopard and yelled "Look at this fuxking cat."

It blows my mind that people seem to forget about this guy. I know he threw when Clemens, Maddux, Glavine threw but the Unit was something special. Greatest pitcher of my lifetime, hands down.

Wow The Legend!

My favorite pitcher of all time. He’s the guy who got me obsessed with baseball as a kid. Great to see him healthy and happy.

Definitely not what I had expected him to sound like....all good, though 😂

The Big Unit sounds like he had a couple “pops” in him before this interview. 😂 JP love Randy! Has one of the best signatures in the business!

Lifelong dbacks fan from their inception. He is my hero!

Diamondbacks legend!!

As a kid I always thought Randy was The Beast from the late 80’s CBS TV show Beauty and the Beast. Pat’s comment about the line of zebra’s. “Single file line, I’ll throw a baseball at your heads, ask the birds.” 😂

He was the meanest lookin monster on the mound. Hes the nicest most genuine guy. Great to see.

I know it’s not a big baseball progrum, but PMS should have more players/retired players on it. There’s a lot of interesting characters in baseball.

Good for Randy. Glad he’s happy and living it up after baseball….

"The Big Unit" is still in my top 5 all-time favorite pitchers!

I didn’t know it was him who hit the bird until today! I’m not really a baseball fan, but I remember seeing him in the WS on the old CRT-TV as a kid. Good memories.

WHen i hear that name and see his face, so many great memories from the past.

His logo on his pictures is EPIC!

I can't believe people still ask him about this. How about asking him about any of his 4800 plus strikouts, five Cy Youngs, pitching no hitters in both leagues, being the oldest to throw a perfect game. How the hell does a guy last that long in MLB as a starting pitcher. Or ask him what it was like to work with the Simpsons cast and crew. Thanks for bringing up the photography. As a retired guy who is also getting into the arts, this is a serious thing to us.

Randy has been a great photyograher his whole life.

Legend

I've seen Randy's motocross photography and he's talented

This man was feared!

Bro get this man a KFC spokesperson deal now 😂, but legit Randy is one of the Goats

Can't wait for Ty to do his Randy impersonation. I have a feeling it will be legendary.

I used to see this guy in Livermore a lot, that was a long time ago and he always looked hell of mad. glad to see him smiling and seemingly living his best life ❤

The legend

Guy is a baseball legend

My girlfriend just asked if they stopped the game to have a moment for the bird

I always thought he was a quiet guy. Never heard him speak till now

Let’s go Randy

Most fans of this show don’t realize how big randy Johnson is in baseball, one of the best pitchers of all time.

The BIRD is indeed the word
