Randy Johnson


Randy Johnson
—April, 2002
Originally done for PLAYBOY with an article of their annual baseball predictions. Randy Johnson with his awkward height and spastic delivery is an anomaly for baseball pitchers, so it was important to me to capture what he looks like pitching, from a batter's perspective-with a bit of exaggeration for good measure. I don't think there's a funnier looking baseball player in the major leagues and I think he would make for a great cover in GQ magazine. That would be a big seller!
