Randy Johnson Retires
Pitching legend Randy Johnson has retired from baseball after 22 major-league seasons.
I had the opportunity to watch him pitch, in person, twice in his career. He never disappointed. I only regret that I didn’t get to see him one last time while he was with the San Francisco Giants.
One of the greatest ever! Although it’s sad to see him go, it was his time.
From Yahoo Sports:
Randy Johnson, who won 303 games in a 22-year career and is second to Nolan Ryan in career strikeouts, announced his retirement during a conference call late Tuesday.
The five-time Cy Young Award winner turned 46 in September during an injury-marred season with the San Francisco Giants. He won his 300th game on a cold and rainy early-June afternoon in Washington, D.C., and was surrounded in the postgame celebration by his wife and children.
“It’s been a long road,” he said that day, sounding very much like a guy whose shoulder was aching and who’d had enough. “I am satisfied.”
