SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Big Unit is heading home to the Bay
Area.
Randy Johnson and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a one-year
contract Friday, meaning the 45-year-old pitcher will go for his
300th win with a new team.
Johnson, a 21-year big league veteran who spent the past two
seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, was born in Walnut Creek,
Calif., about 30 minutes from the Giants' waterfront ballpark.
The five-time Cy Young Award winner has 295 victories after
going 11-10 with a 3.91 ERA in 30 starts last season.
