This is the seventh episode of the first season of MLB Network Presents: Randy Johnson, The Big Picture, hosted by Bob Costas, originally airing July 2015. Narrated by Metallica frontman James Hetfield.
I can't tell you how lucky I feel, growing up in AZ listening to Greg Schulte call games on KTAR-AM with the Big Unit and Schilling pitching every 4 or 5 days.
As a left-handed pitcher growing up, I idolized Randy. I tried to throw like him. Luckily, my left shoulder is still intact. As a Braves fan, I was watching when he threw the perfect game in Atlanta. I wasn't happy to be on the losing end of something like that, but I was happy for him at the same time. He's a well-deserved hall of famer.
Well deserved recognition for one of the greatest! His intensity, focus and love of his position (Pitching), during his career was a sign of greatness to come. Randy, wishing you peace, good health and happiness. Namaste. From a Vietnam Era Marine Corps veteran.
I saw him live in Seattle a bunch of times, before 1995 they were mostly small crowds. I was at a bunch of half that would have 7 to 9k fans in the Kingdome. The nights Randy would pitch there'd be 15 to 29k. Total stud, them at the end of 95 they were getting 57k a game. Randy was the man
@@ThisIsWhereYouFindBaseball Thanks. I've tried accessing it there many times before and it doesn't play back. I've tried on multiple devices and multiple locations and the best I get is a neverending spinning circle. Is it actually working for you?
Do you have video of the game between the Braves vs. Reds on October 2, 1988? Two runners took second and third on a play (i.e. a double steal) but it was called defensive indifference. The newspaper accounts don't mention a steal and I'm trying to figure out what happened.
