It was a May night in New York, the first time Randy Johnson took the mound for the Mariners. He'd been labeled as wild, giving up 26 walks in 26 innings in Montreal, his first big-league home.
"A lot of people, not only in Seattle but all over, were anxious to see what the Mariners got for Mark Langston," he told the P-I that night in 1989.
What they and the 6-foot-10 left-hander got was a 3-2 win against the Yankees.
