Humbled, emotional Johnson enters Hall

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- As promised, Randy Johnson's Hall of Fame induction speech on Sunday was less about him and more about the multitude of people that helped him gain entry into baseball's most prestigious club.

Johnson, the avid photographer, snapped pictures when Craig Biggio gave the first of the speeches by the four inductees -- which also included John Smoltz and Pedro Martinez -- but as the time for his speech drew near, it was obvious Johnson was going to have to focus all his attention on calming his nerves.

When he was presented with his Hall of Fame plaque, Johnson took a big, deep breath to gather himself.
