FILE - In this April 12, 2010, file photo, former Seattle Mariners pitcher Randy Johnson holds his hand to his heart to acknowledge an ovation from fans as he walks onto the field for the ceremonial first pitch before a baseball game against the Oakland Athletics in Seattle. With a menacing fastball and devastating slider, "The Big Unit" had a career that rivaled any other left-handed pitcher who played the game. There is a long list of statistics to back that up, and he seems a shoe-in as a first-ballot selection when the new Hall of Fame class is announced on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015.
