Giants honor Randy Johnson for 300th win

[Upton]

The Giants honored the left hander before Saturday night's game against Texas for becoming the 24th pitcher to reach 300. The 45-year-old Johnson won at Washington on June 4 for No. 300. A video tribute played on the main center-field scoreboard with highlights from the pitcher's decorated 22-year career, then Johnson was joined by his family for an on-field tribute. He received a warm ovation from the crowd, tipping his hat in every direction.

"I'd like to thank all the teams that I played for - Montreal, Seattle, Houston, New York, Arizona and of course San Francisco - and all the fans," Johnson said. "And all my teammates on all those teams that I've learned a lot from and hopefully I taught a little bit to some of them as well. I'd be remiss if I didn't thank all the team doctors and trainers.

The 6-foot-10 Johnson, in his first season with the Giants after battling back injuries during his last two years with Arizona, is 6-5 with a 5.00 ERA. He has a World Series ring and co-MVP honors, five Cy Young awards and is a 10-time All-Star selection. He's thrown two no-hitters, including a perfect game, and ranks second on the career strikeout list only to Ryan.

Then the Giants went out and won their second straight..thanks to an 11th inning wild pitch by the Rangers Jason Jennings. They now find themselves but 1/2 game back in the wild card.

1. 5 World Series Titles, and now this .. Wow.

They should just schedule all home games at least twenty minutes late just to be sure, considering there's a good chance they'll be honoring yet another future Hall of Famer.
