GALLERY: Randy Johnson Number Retirement Ceremony

FILE - In this Nov. 1, 2001, file photo, Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson throws against the New York Yankees in the first inning of Game 6 of the World Series at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix. With a menacing fastball and devastating slider, "The Big Unit" had a career that rivaled any other left-handed pitcher who played the game. There is a long list of statistics to back that up, and he seems a shoe-in as a first-ballot selection when the new Hall of Fame class is announced on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2015. (AP Photo/Matt York, File)
