Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives. As such, it is important to us that the Seattle Mariners have announced that they will retire Randy Johnson’s #51 during the 2026 Season.
The event will take place on May 2 during their home game.
Johnson’s career began in Montreal, but he was traded during his second season (1989) to the Mariners, where he played ten seasons before the Mariners traded him (he was set to become a free agent after the season) to the Houston Astros for their playoff run. “The Big Unit” became a superstar in the Emerald City, earning five All-Stars, a Cy Young, four Strikeout Titles, and an ERA Title. Statistically, Johnson had a 130-74 record with 2,162 Strikeouts.
Johnson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015.
We at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate Randy Johnson for his impending honor.
