Big Unit Works in Big Apple

Baseball is the greatest of American games. Some say football, but it is my firm belief, and it shall always be, that baseball has no superior.
Thomas Alva Edison (1847 - 1931), inventor

One of baseball’s best pitchers Randy Johnson is joining the New York Yankees. The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Yankees finalized a deal for the six-foot-10 inch Johnson, also known by the nickname Big Unit, to play in New York. In return, Arizona will receive right-handed pitcher Javier Vazquez, left-handed pitcher Brad Halsey, and catching prospect Dioner Navarro.

This deal is the remnant of the three-way deal the once regal Los Angeles Dodgers backed out of with the Yankees and Diamondbacks.

The interesting game will be between the former teammates, Curt Schilling who pitches for the World Champion Boston Red Sox and Johnson.
