There are a lot of reasons to love baseball’s Hall of Fame weekend. Not the least of which is the “now they can be told” stories.
One was told on Sunday, and it was aimed, good-naturedly, at Randy Johnson — born in Walnut Creek, reared in Livermore, spent his last season with the Giants (winning his 300th game), and a member of the Hall of Fame class of 2015.
Johnson spent considerable time with the Seattle Mariners as a teammate of Edgar Martinez, who was inducted over the weekend. The classy designated hitter pulled a story from his treasure trove of personal experience.
