LEAGUE OF THEMSELVES - THE BIG UNIT

It's the weekend; let's play ball!

RANDY JOHNSON

From Wikipedia:

Randall David "Randy" Johnson (born September 10, 1963), nicknamed "The Big Unit", is a former American Major League Baseball left-handed pitcher. During a 22-year career, he pitched for six different teams.

The 6-foot-10-inch Johnson was celebrated for having one of the most dominant fastballs in the game. He regularly approached, and occasionally exceeded, 100 miles per hour during his prime. He also threw a hard, biting slider. Johnson won the Cy Young Award five times, second only to Roger Clemens' seven.

Johnson finished his career first in strikeouts per nine innings pitched among starting pitchers (10.67), second all-time in total strikeouts (4,875; first among left-handed pitchers), third in hit batsmen (188), tenth in fewest hits allowed per nine innings pitched (7.24), 22nd in wins (303), and 57th in shutouts (37). He pitched two no-hitters, the second of which was the 17th perfect game in baseball history.

SYNOPSIS:

Since Peter spent the entire case bemoaning his lost opportunity at a major league baseball career, Jared arranged for him to swing at a few pitches thrown by Randy Johnson.  (Johnson agreed since Stanton Infeld represented him during his contract negotiations to be a sports drink sponsor.)
