Fans will have a chance to celebrate Johnson's legacy further with 'Randy Johnson '80s Jersey Night' on May 1, presented by T-Mobile, for the first 20,000 attendees. Although Johnson achieved notable success with the Arizona Diamondbacks, his transformative years and rise to stardom occurred with the Mariners after his 1989 trade from the Montreal Expos.
Johnson's tenure in Seattle, highlighted by his breakout 1993 season and his instrumental role in the 1995 team's success, solidified his place in baseball history. He amassed a 130-74 record with a 3.42 ERA over 274 games for the Mariners, leaving an indelible mark on the franchise and the sport.
