  Randy Johnson — The Big Unit in The Big Apple - PSA Library
Randy Johnson - The Big Unit is in The Big Apple - he's in pinstripes, and New Yorkers are pinning their big dreams on the hope, that the 41-year old pitcher still has what it takes to put the 2005 World Series Trophy in the executive offices of the "House That Ruth Built."
Growing up in Walnut Creek, California, Randy went from being a big infant to a big toddler, and by the time he entered grade school it was obvious that he wasn't just a big kid, but a big kid with athletic talent far beyond that of his peers.
Featuring a color portrait of The Big Unit in his Expos uniform, the card was originally produced with a glaring error - while Johnson's stats were on the back, the front of the card featured a photo of Jim Leyland of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
