Summary:
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.”
