Randy Johnson, affectionately known as “The Big Unit”, spent 22 years pitching in the majors for the Montreal Expos (1988-1989), Seattle Mariners (1989-1998), Houston Astros (1998), Arizona Diamondbacks (1999-2004, 2007-2008), New York Yankees (2005-2006) and San Francisco Giants (2009). The 10-time All-Star won five Cy Young Awards (second all-time to Roger Clemens), the first with Seattle in 1995 followed by four consecutive with Arizona. Along with Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, Johnson is the only pitcher to ever win the award in four straight seasons. Johnson nine times led the league in strikeouts, four times in ERA and claimed the Triple Crown in 2002 while leading the league in wins (24), ERA (2.32) and strikeouts (334).
In 2001, Johnson played an integral role in the Diamondbacks winning the franchise’s first World Series title when they defeated the Yankees in seven games. During the Fall Classic, Johnson won three games and allowed just two runs over 17 1/3 innings in route to being named co-MVP along with teammate Curt Schilling. In 2004 at the age of 40, Johnson became the oldest player in the history of MLB to record a perfect game. He finished his career with 303 wins, the fifth-most ever by a leftie. He also struck out 4,875 batters and trails only Nolan Ryan all-time among left-handed pitchers. He is a member of the Mariners Hall of Fame and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015. That same year, the Diamondbacks retired his jersey #51. Johnson was born on September 10, 1963 and played college baseball at USC. He was picked by Montreal in the 1985 MLB Draft (2nd round) and made his debut in the majors on September 15, 1988.
