Randy Johnson also has a perfect logo for his photography business.

Johnson’s perfecto still chaps my hide, since he threw it as a Diamondback, not a Mariner. But somehow that’s also codign and emblematic of being a Mariner’s fan. ---

One of my favorite things about Randy Johnson is how long it took for him become Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. Come the end of the '92 season, he was 29 years old with a career record of 49-48, a 3.95 ERA and a 1.428 WHIP. He was walking nearly 6 batters per 9 innings. But man, he sure put it all together in his 30s. ---
