Minisode: Randy Johnson

April 28, 2020

Randy Johnson–no, not that one–is our personal favorite April Avenger. As part of the (similarly doomed) “No-name” Twins of 1982, he compiled 24 hits, 5 HR, 13 RBI, 7 walks, and a .393/.449/.738 slash line (1.187 OPS) in 69 plate appearances over 17 games. While the rest of his career would feature only 5 more homers and 36 more hits, for a brief, shining moment, all Minnesotans could daydream about having their own Randy Johnson in the Hall of Fame.

Also, screw the Metrodome. Long live Target Field!
