* (as of 7/10/12)

Randy won more games with Seattle than

he did with any other team, including the

first no-hitter (right) in franchise history.

No pitcher ever scared left-handed hitters

out of the lineup and sent them scurrying, like

mice to their holes, the way he did.

-Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated writer

Hes one of th

guys you want on

team, because you

if there was a stre

that had to be bro

or kept going, he w

the guy you wanteon the mound.

-Ken Griffey Jr.

professional baseball following the 2009

season after a remarkable career that

saw him pitch 22 seasons in the Major

Leagues. Johnson compiled a career

303-166 record with a 3.29 ERA in 618

pitching appearances (603 starts).

Pitched for the Mariners from 1989-1998, compiling a 130-74

complete games (51).

against the Detroit Tigers.

10-Time All-Star, including the starting pitcher in 1995 (AL),

1997 (AL), 2000 (NL), 2001 (NL).

5-Time Cy Young Award Winner, including 1995 with the

Mariners2nd-most Cy Young awards by a player in MLB

history, trailing only Roger Clemens (7)one of only

two pitchers to have ever won the Cy Young award in four

consecutive seasons (1999-2002) Won his 300th career game June 4, 2009 against the

Washington Nationals. Became just the 18th pitcher during

the modern era (since 1901) to win 300 games.

Named co-MVP of the 2001 World Series with Arizona, going

3-0 with a 1.04 ERA.

I focused on being the best I could be,

not better than others, but the best I could

be. That meant having to dig a little deeper

when I was tired, being able to throw 130 or

140 pitches, beinga warrior.

-Randy Johnson

He is the number one dominating pitcher in baseball. I dont

even know whos number two. Ive never seen anybody like him.

-Lou Piniella

I look at those things now and I really just kind of

smile. I am able to reflect more now that my career is

over, and open up about more of those kinds of things.

Back then, I think when I started having success I

didnt want to start talking about my success because

I didnt want to get too far ahead of myself. I just

wanted to stay focused on the task at hand.

Randy Johnson, on his memories as a b allplayer

Randy was co-MVP of the 2001

World Series, but his greatest joy

was sharing success with his

family, including his 300th win.

With SeattleMariners

I miss game day quite

a bit. I miss the preparation

that I would put into leading

up to the game that I would

pitch, whether it was

working out in the weight

room, sitting down with my

catcher and going over a

game plan, adjusting thatgame plan throughout the

course of the game that I was

actually pitching, just that

whole day. I miss that.
