Amazing, but it probably helps that Johnson's arms look about four feet long!
Not to divert this thread, but has anyone ever watched clips of Warren Spahn? Check out the video below, at about the 48 second mark. I was always in awe of how he flicked his glove right where the ball was about to be released. I don't know how any batter could ever pick up the ball!
