With baseball spring training coming up very soon I want to look at the new Baseball Hall of Famers who were named recently to be enshrined in Cooperstown. This is a great class and I'm excited for each of them. Randy Johnson was a no brainer. Twenty-two years, 303 wins, 3.29 ERA, and 4,875 strikeouts. He was selected to 10 all-star games and won five Cy Young awards. He also added a World Series MVP while helping Arizona win their only title to date. Definitely one of those guys who deserved 100% of the vote (he received 97.3%). My favorite Johnson moment was in an all-star game where a pitch got loose unnerving batter John Kruk. On the next pitch Kruk bailed before the pitch ever came close to the plate. It was great fun though Johnson as he was anytime he was on the mound wasn't in the mood to laugh.
