Draconator Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 At least he has a sense of humor about it. His post MLB photography logo. Fun fact about Randy Johnson's photography career. He took what turned out to be the cover for Rush's R40 live album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the picture. Geddy and Alex loved it, and used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Randy's photography logo somehow ended up incorporated into the R40 logo. Thanks for the clarification. I'll never forget when Johnson went to the Yankees. Just off the plane, the media surrounded him and he eventually said, "get that camera out of my face." That's exactly when I (and many) knew that it would not work out. Poor bastard.

I never knew he was a Yankee. I have failed myself as a sports fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I remember the bird strike when it happened. That is the greatest example of being in the wrong place at the wrong time that anyone will ever encounter. It also demonstrates just how freaking hard these guys throw a baseball, especially a killer like Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 The D-Backs gave Randy as a gift for his jersey retirement a exact replica of Neil's R30 kit. Same wood construction, gold plated hardware, etc. There were only 20 replica's made, and it cost the D-Backs upwards of $20,000. Randy rearranged his living room, switched it for left-handed playing, and that kit is now the centerpiece of his house. There's a video somewhere of it, off to searching. The only thing I found is the retirement ceremony where they presented him with the set. Fast forward to the 8 minute mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
