Former MLB pitcher Randy Johnson has become a professional photographer. [View all]

About 24 years ago he famously hit a dove with a pitch.

Further, "On May 18, 2004, Randy Johnson, pitching for the Major League Baseball Arizona Diamondbacks, threw a perfect game, beating the Atlanta Braves 2–0 at Turner Field in Atlanta before a crowd of 23,381. Johnson, at 40, was the oldest pitcher in MLB history to throw a perfect game, surpassing Cy Young who was 37 when he threw his perfect game in 1904."
