Randy Johnson's 300th Win Part V: The Game

After 18,000 words in four days, we finally get to the main event: Randy Johnson's 300th win. I apologize for boring you with so much excess detail in Parts I-IV, but I feel that it helps to set up the actual game. Besides, the only people that will actually read this thing are my sister and me. (You can prove me wrong by leaving a comment. You can make it as nasty as you want.) Anyways, a note to all of the #nintendo people who probably won't read this: The title wasn't deliberate, but I did notice it when I was getting ready to write it. And I have just one thing to say about it: ha ha!

After writing 16,000 words in three days, I will try to make this entry more lightweight, but I can't make any guarantees.

Randy Johnson's 300th Win Part III: The Set-Up

This is part III out of VI in my look back at one of the most significant events in my career as a baseball fan: seeing Randy Johnson win the 300th game of his career. Parts I and II were about 300-game winners, and the man who would be a 300-game winner, Randy Johnson. Part III is how I became interested in 300 wins, and the plans I made leading up to Randy's 300th win.
