Arizona man shoved by Randy Johnson

TUCSON, AZ — Randy Johnson’s second stint as a starter for the Diamondbacks began much like his last relocation: with a minor altercation involving a man with a camera. Unfortunately for the Big Unit, Arizona resident Jim Janek was nothing more than a photo-seeking fan. “I just wanted to take a picture with Randy and my 11-year-old son Andy, but when I walked up to him with my camera he pushed me and told me to get out of his face,” Janek told reporters outside the D-Backs’ spring training facility. “I tried to explain that my son was a huge fan, but he said, ‘I don’t care who you are, get out of my face.’”Johnson refused to comment on the incident, but a locker room source told SSNN that he overheard the Unit telling teammates that he believed the Janeks were spying on him for a major expose in Tucson Weekly, a local tabloid newspaper. In fact, Jim works as a gardener and caretaker for the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and was at the park solely by his son’s request.

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
