Nobody for me. But my older brother played against Randy Johnson. He also played baseball with Jack Del Rio and against Del Rio in football. He played baseball with Doug Henry as well. Not sure if anybody remembers him, but he pitched for Milwaukee and a short stint with SF.

My dad told me a story when my brothers team played against Randy Johnson. The first time he started warming up the guys on the team chuckled at the gangly left hander who started out throwing slowly. Then by the time he was finished they weren't laughing anymore. They said he was throwing aspirin tablets by that time. He went on to one-hit my bothers team. And guess who got that one hit? Yep, my brother, a lefty, crushed a deep fly ball that would have been a homer, but they were playing on a field with an open outfield. So he had to settle for a triple. Well, at least that's the story that was passed down to me.
