Johnson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame last month. He went 303-166 in his 22-year career with 4,875 strikeouts and a 3.29 ERA. He was 118-62 with the Diamondbacks, helping the team win the World Series in 2001. Oh, and he’s a pretty good drummer as well.
The DBacks didn’t stop with the jersey retirement. They designed and cooked a 51-inch corndog in Johnson’s honor.
