I remember him becoming an Astro for half a season... thought that was nice............... for half a season :(

I remember seeing Johnson pitch against the Astros at then Enron Field on the 4th of July in the 2000 season... 8-4 D-Backs...

And I just found this out on this thread. He had kinda fallen off the map the last few years.
I enjoyed watching him pitch. Especially with
Seattle and him and Shilling made a
helluva 1-2 punch in Arizona.

yeah schill and johnson were amazing together I still remember watching the 01 series against the yanks and watching him pitch in relief of Schilling in game 7 after throwing for over 100 pitches the night before in a game 6 victory, and they ended up being co MVP's

He's my favorite pitcher that I can remember.

Unfortunately, I grew up in a non-sports family, so I never knew about Nolan Ryan until after he was retired.

What was heard from Big Unit's honeymoon suite? :)

Sorry in advance, but it seemed to fit here too.
