    Randy Johnson’s name and nickname were ideal porn names as well. His nickname being The Big Unit

      He also obliterated a bird unlucky enough to cross the path of his fastball on live TV, which is totally unrelated but a fact that needs to live in more people’s minds like it does mine.

        what i love about The Big Unit is that that, his most iconic moment, is something he uses to promote his brand as a wildlife photographer because he feels so wracked with guilt that a bird died because of him. it’s not anything he had any control over. but he refuses to let that bird have died in vain. so now he’s the wildlife photographer who accidentally exploded a bird once.

        the world needs more men like Randy Johnson. skilled enough to be absolutely terrifying but humble enough to be heartbroken to have killed a bird
