Randy Johnson tosses gamer glove into crowd
We went to the D-backs/Brewers game last night. Randy Johnson pitched and got roughed up. As he walked off the filed, he tossed his glove to a kid sitting right over the dugout. We were wondering if the kid knows what he got!

Re: Randy Johnson tosses gamer glove into crowd
I think even Randy is starting to realize that he's more than likely playing his last season of professional Baseball, and may (as hard as it is to imagine) be starting to loosen up a bit, at least when it comes to kids.

Re: Randy Johnson tosses gamer glove into crowd
Wait a minute...I was thinking batting glove, for some reason. He tossed a kid his fielding glove?
Behind the dugout is usually where friends and families of the players, and team executives, etc, sit...not to be overly cynical, but I'd be willing to bet that that wasn't just any kid RJ flipped the glove to. It was probably either one of his own, or the kid of somebody he knows.

Yes, it was a fielding glove. Based on his reaction, and his sister, who called several people, and his parents, and then how he stodd and showed it off to the crowd, I'd say he did not know Randy. He had a look of total shock and then crazy happiness. It was nice to see. Randy really didn't look after he tossed it.

Has anyone ever heard of a pitcher doing something like that? I can't shake the feeling that this might have been Randy's way of saying, "I'm done"...and not just for the night.
