THE BIG UNIT COMES UP PERFECT
Randy Johnson, the man they call "The Big Unit," may well have the worst nickname in sports history (what's next, John "Man Breasts" Kruk? Kirby "Protruding Ass" Puckett? Why would you give a guy named "Johnson" a nickname like "Big Unit?"). However, he is one of the best pitchers of his generation. And tonight, he did something that's been accomplished only 15 times now in more than 150,000 games played in the modern era of baseball: he threw a perfect game. 27 men up, 27 men out. No hits, no walks, no errors... no one reached first base. And Johnson did it at the age of 40 - by far the oldest pitcher in history to perform the feat.
Congratulations, Randy. That's quite a feat.
