Randy Johnson was the steal of the deal

Buck Rodgers was one of two men to manage Randy Johnson when he had an undefeated season.

Buck Rodgers is also the only man to manage Randy Johnson when he failed to win a major-league start.

And Buck Rodgers was managing the Montreal Expos when the 6-foot-10 lefty was traded -- along with Brian Holman and Gene Harris — to the Seattle Mariners for lefty Mark Langston on May 25, 1989.

Harris, not Johnson, was the arm that Expos management was the most reluctant to part with.

Johnson, along with Craig Biggio, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz will be inducted in the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.
