Poll of the Day: Randy Johnson’s Legacy

[Editor’s note: Welcome to Athlon Sports’ poll of the day, where we ask readers to weigh in on the biggest topic of the day. Thanks for voting, and be sure to sound off in the comment section.]

Randy Johnson is on the short list of the greatest left-handed pitchers in baseball history. But is that the first thing you think of when you hear his name mentioned?

Johnson is a five-time Cy Young Award winner, a World Series MVP and a first-ballot Hall of Famer. However, he might be more famous for a completely different reason. As noted in this story from Athlon Sports’ Thomas Neumann, Tuesday is the 25th anniversary of the day Johnson blew up a bird.

He didn’t do it on purpose. The dove unfortunately got in the way of a Johnson pitch during a spring training game.

Even before social media was a thing, this incident became legendary — enough so that it begs the question…
