PHOENIX -- Randy Johnson walked from the bullpen to the pitcher's mound Saturday night, the crowd at Chase Field on its feet, and the recently inducted Hall of Famer recalled the most recent time he had made that same walk.
"I think the last time I walked out of the bullpen in a direct line to the mound was in 2001 [World Series] Game 7," Johnson said referring to his relief appearance in that game. "Outside of that, my path from the bullpen would be to the dugout before the game started."
The world championship was not at stake this time around, but it was still a night of celebration as Johnson's No.
