A's notes: Melvin lauds Randy Johnson on induction day
Arguably the best left-hander of all time. Certainly maybe the most dominant as far as striking people out and scowls.
SAN FRANCISCO -– A’s manager Bob Melvin has quite a history with freshly minted Hall of Famer Randy Johnson, having managed the fireballing left-hander in the later stages of his career.
Melvin also has quite a boast –- no one ever hit Johnson for a higher batting average among those with more than a handful of at-bats against him. The right-handed hitting Melvin, who saw action with seven big league teams over a 10-year career as a catcher, hit .452 (14-for-31) off the Big Unit.
