Rookie tell me where you are now - Randy Johnson
I know my scanner cut it but it is no difficult task to identify the AL Cy Young winner.
Lets make some room for Mr. Randy Johnson!
He got himself around a lot of teams:
Montreal Expos (1988–1989)
Seattle Mariners (1989–1998)
Houston Astros (1998)
Arizona Diamondbacks (1999–2004)
New York Yankees (2005–2006)
Arizona Diamondbacks (2007–2008)
San Francisco Giants (2009)
Got to be a Yankee and also played for other two teams I like, D-Backs and Astros. Just missed Reds and he would be a star player for me.
He's one of those examples that got it right and got even more awards after RotY:
10× All-Star (1990, 1993–1995, 1997, 1999–2002, 2004)
World Series champion (2001)
5× Cy Young Award (1995, 1999–2002)
World Series MVP (2001)
Triple Crown (2002)
MLB wins leader (2002)
4× ERA leader (1995, 1999, 2001, 2002)
9× Strikeout leader (1992–1995, 1999–2002, 2004)
Pitched a perfect game on May 18, 2004
Pitched a no-hitter on June 2, 1990
Arizona Diamondbacks No. 51 retired
Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame
That's insane!
That's why after being RotY he got himself into MLB Hall of Fame.

Junior and master of how to pitch with the leg
The title may not make sense.
But it's all about the move some pitchers do with the leg when preparing the pitch.
Mike Witt on top rises his leg up to the middle.
I can imagine as an appropriate high and still be comfortable.
But then you have Randy Johnson who seems to be trying to put his leg around his neck!
That's gymnastic style!

What did I just hit?
Ken Griffey Jr. doesn't seem that happy with his hit.
Dave Parker is still looking for the ball.
Tony Gwynn and the umpire simply didn't got anything that just happen.

A bunt is always a bunt - Chone Figgins
Wow...specially when you get a horizontal bunt card with the frame right after the ball connected with the bat.
