The greatest pitch ever thrown
Comment on Good point

what i love about The Big Unit is that that, his most iconic moment, is something he uses to promote his brand as a wildlife photographer because he feels so wracked with guilt that a bird died because of him. it’s not anything he had any control over. but he refuses to let that bird have died in vain. so now he’s the wildlife photographer who accidentally exploded a bird once.
the world needs more men like Randy Johnson. skilled enough to be absolutely terrifying but humble enough to be heartbroken to have killed a bird

I did not know that. You have really put a ribbon and a bow on that story for me, thank you.

how did they score that pitch anyways?

it counted towards his pitch count but not against or for the batter

that was kind of them. I would Need A Minute even if it were just a pigeon or seagull. Not a starling or sparrow though fuck those.
