The Big Unit’s Game-Used Glove: A Testament to Pitching Greatness

A Legendary Career in Baseball

Randy Johnson, affectionately known as “The Big Unit,” is celebrated as one of the most formidable pitchers in the annals of Major League Baseball. His induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015, with an impressive 97.3% of the vote, underscores his monumental impact on the sport. Johnson’s illustrious career is adorned with numerous accolades, including being a 10-time MLB All-Star, the 2001 World Series Champion and MVP, a five-time Cy Young Award winner, and the 2002 Triple Crown recipient. His legacy is further immortalized with the retirement of his No. 51 jersey by the Arizona Diamondbacks and his induction into the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame.
