Former MLB Pitcher Randy Johnson-NHRA Photographer

[mopain]

I was watching the Top 10 plays of the day on ESPN Sports Center on Saturday night. Number nine was Larry Dixon's run, which was preceeded by a shot of former MLB pitcher and 300 game winner Randy Johnson taking pictures and wearing an NHRA photographer credential.

One downside of being 6 foot 10 ... NO WAY you can be inconspicuous and just enjoy a weekend at the track.

This is comical. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get one of those credentials? Then NHRA just gives it to an amature...what a joke!

Don't be a hater, Craig. It's not like he's going to be on the tour.

Sounds pretty humble to me:

From the story...
"You see this on TV and you can’t put it in perspective," Johnson said. "I had the pleasure to go out to Phoenix and shoot a NASCAR race and you don’t realize how fast those cars are and how close they race together, but this is at another level."

At least he sees drag racing as another level above NASCAR. Gotta like that.

Not a hater, just a true statement!

Get over yourself, Craig.

95% of what you post is in the negative category..and your vision of the truth is fairly skewered.

Plus they got some pub out of it. Sounds like a smart move to me.
