[Superman]

I know this is a bit off the subject, but here in Seattle we had the pleasure of watching Randy Johnson for several years. I personally watched him strike out sixteen hitters pitching a full game against the Blue Jays. He struck out all three batters in the ninth inning, one requiring only three pitches. At times, around the 4th or 5th inning, he went into a zone and became truly unhittable. His fastball was legendary, but his signature pitch was a wicked 90+ mph late-breaking slider that moved sharply down and to his right. At 6'10", and since he was a side-arm pitcher, his slider came across the plate like a throw from first base. A left handed batter, lining up toward the back of the batter's box, might not even be able to reach it when it was a strike. In my humble view, he is on a very short list of the most dominant pitchers in major league history.
