Delivered by Randy Johnson Wednesday night (he pitched a perfect game against Atlanta Tuesday night):
10. “After this, I can go 0-15 for the year and honestly not give a crap”
9. “My pre-game dinner at Denny’s tonight? On the house!”
8. “Shows everyone that even though I’m 40, I can still…I’m sorry, I lost my train of thought”
7. “Cool to get congratulatory call from the President, even though he kept calling me “Larry”
6. “Can walk up to guys who’ve thrown no-hitters and whisper, “Loser”
5. “All the pine tar I can eat!”
4. “Your catcher hugs you and it feels kinda…nice”
3. “Maybe people will finally forget about the time I killed that bird”
2. “It’s just one more thing about me that’s perfect, am I right, ladies?”
1. “George Steinbrenner just offered me a billion dollars to sign with the Yankees”
When I met Randy in November the thing I found most noteworthy about him (besides his height) was how BIG his hands are! They are enormous–the better to grip and throw with, I guess.
