Randy Johnson's 300th Win Day - 2025



Welp, it's that time of year again. It is June 4, which is the 36th anniversary of the attack in Tiananmen Square on student protesters by the Chinese Communist Party government and the 26th anniversary of the day my family began our move to Virginia. Of course, I choose to focus instead on the anniversary of one of the most electrifying moments in my life: watching Randy Johnson win his 300th game back on June 4, 2009.

To be honest, I haven't really written about the game itself since I wrote up the 10th anniversary celebration post all those years ago. And while I did do my customary viewing of this game for the anniversary, I don't think I saw it since I watched it last year. I did go and watch the Texas Stars play in the conference finals for the Calder Cup, which is about the only hockey that I can watch since the Dallas Stars were eliminated in humiliating fashion. 

Anyways, this is the time when I stop and take stock at how things are going on with the Big Unit himself and the world of baseball as a whole, especially with tracking the ten winningest active pitchers to see if anybody has any sort of chance of getting to 300? How is the news this year? Well you'll have to read on to find out.
