Those childhood teams you grow up watching stand as hallowed grounds. It amazes me that as a 7 year-old, the Mariners and Sonics made such an -- infuriating, curse you Michael Jordan -- impression on me. You had guys like Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner (Dennys holographic trading cards, and in Tacoma, where else were you going to eat?), Dan Wilson (only because I got his trading card) that skinny, up-and-comer Alex Rodriguez, and of course Griffey Jr.. But then you had Randy Johnson, who had the coolest mullet, and the mangiest facial hair. To a 7 year-old, he didnt look dirty, he just looked cool whipping that ball across the plate. Im not a huge baseball fan now, but the inner 7 year-old in me is thrilled he made the HOF. It takes me back to sitting in front of a TV and getting truly excited about sports. And although he did it with the Diamondbacks, this still stands as one of the coolest pitches: youtu.be/orI26C05udY
