Loved him.

Only pitcher I can think of that you'd watch him pitch to the first batter and sometimes you'd know he was going to be virtually unhittable that game.

We will be there for RJ HOF bobble head night. GO RJ!!!!!

 

[Avondale Red Rage]

My lasting memory of RJ was him coming out of the bullpen in Game 7 to pitch the ninth and keep the score 2-1. BOB was electric, and the rest they say, is history.

When RJ and Curt pitched, it was like you knew the Diamondbacks were going to win. One of the best 1-2 two combos ever.

Should have said "One of my lasting memories of RJ pitching".

Another was taking my father-in-law who passed away this past April to a game in 2003 (?), while him and Grammy were visiting from Michigan. We had sat down and Pops turned to me while The Big Unit was warming up, and said: 12-0. I'll be damned, but 51 threw a gem, and we won 12-1 or something like that.

Martina Navratilova was sitting directly in front of us as well. It's odd sometimes looking back, and the history you're interacting in never crosses your mind. Pops would always bring that game up. #RIP Pops.
