Talk:Randy Johnson

longest span between no hitters?

It also gave him the longest span of any pitcher between no-hitters–14 years, although the span between Nolan Ryan's first and last no hitters was 17 years.

Well, if Nolan Ryan's was 17 years, then Randy's wasn't the longest... can someone look into this and make this sentence consistent. Themindset 07:59, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

• What it means is that the 14 years was the longest amount of time between CONSECUTIVE no-hitters.

Bird Killer

I think his dead bird should be put under accomplishments, he's one of two pitches to do this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.24.177 (talk) 22:29, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Funny...but, "birds killed" is not an official baseball stat last I checked. -- Mount Molehill (talk) 02:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Who's the other pitcher? (reply on my talk page as i won't check back here). - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 03:41, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

It does deserve a mention. I mean how rare is a celebrity bird murderer? I think it should go in the section of the team for which he played during that time. Plus a citation that is not a video would help out tremendously.72.221.114.113 (talk) 20:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Not sure much more solid something other than a video can be.Jeremyeyork (talk) 03:27, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

MLB officially recognizes 20 K game?

Article said their initial decision was reversed, but I see no evidence of this anywhere. mlb.com and baseball almanac make no mention of it and still report that MLB doesn't officially recognize this as a tie for the single 9-inning game record. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_strik.shtml http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/baseballs_best/mlb_bb_gamepage.jsp?story_page=bb_98reg_050698_houchc As much as I wish it was recognized, I still don't think it is, so I put request for citation back on there. -- Mount Molehill (talk) 02:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Randy Johnson as a metal fan

The provided reference for Randy Johnson being "an avid metal fan" does not even reference the player; there is also no evidence that it qualifies as reliable and that evidence would need to be provided, the burden of proof being on the inserter of the information. Regardless, this is trivial and really has no encyclopedic basis for inclusion in this article. — KV5 • Talk • 00:49, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

GA try #2

You know, this article isn't far from GA status. If anyone wants to help me get it there, I'll be using Wizardman's review from last year as a jumping off point. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:55, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Nice to hear that opinion. We have some time what about trying to get it as a GA (if not already, I do not know how to check) just before interest pickup before his first Hall of Fame Ballot appearance. On that note, on one side he looks like a near automatic to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on the first try. On opposite side, steriod era- is he totally clean and no issues or debate on that? Wfoj2 (talk) 22:27, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
