I got three amazing fics for the ClickHole article An Oral History of the 1998 Major League Baseball Home Run Chase. Serendipitously, they all complement each other perfectly by covering different parts of history in pitch-perfect fashion.

Randy Johnson (photographer; member, Baseball Hall of Fame): Rob Manfred found me somehow. I don’t know how. I thought, 20 years ago, it had been enough. I was in my backyard taking some photos of birds and Rob stood on my deck and said, “Randy, you have to help us out with a project,” and I said, “I will only help you if it’s a photography project, Rob, I am retired now, you can go to my website to look at my photos,” and Rob said, “if you didn’t want to help us, you shouldn’t have given up that goddamn moonshot to McGwire.”
