Randy Johnson Retires

After 22 years in Major League Baseball, Randy Johnson is ready to hang up his cleats.

Johnson, 46 years old and the last of a dying breed of hurlers, announced his retirement during a conference call Tuesday evening after an injury-ridden season with the San Francisco Giants.

The Big Unit sits 22nd on the All-Time wins list with 303 and is second only to Nolan Ryan in career strikeouts. The five-time Cy Young Award winner — four came in consecutive seasons from 1999 to 2002 with the Arizona Diamondbacks – has posted a 3.29 ERA and enjoyed not one but two no-hitters, the second in perfect game-form against the Atlanta Braves back in 2004.

A few other accomplishments include a 2001 World Championship where he was co-MVP along with teammate Curt Schilling, being selected to ten different All-Star teams, earning four ERA crowns, nine strikeout titles, and the ability to boast having beaten every single big league team at least once.

Happy trails, Randy Johnson!
