On this day in 2007 Randy
Johnson agreed to a two year deal worth $26 million with the Arizona
Diamondbacks leaving only a physical and approval by MLB to finalize the trade
with the Yankees. The Yankees will receive reliever Luis Vizcaino, minor league
right handed pitching prospects Ross Ohlendorf and Steven Jackson, and minor
league infielder Alberto Gonzalez.
Also on this day in 2006
former Yankees GM Bob Watson received the Jackie Robinson Lifetime Achievement
Award from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The honor was given to the first
black general manager in baseball history during the Legacy Awards in Kansas
City.
Finally on this day in 1920
Babe Ruth reacted to being called "the most selfish and inconsiderate man
to ever put on a baseball uniform" by former owner Harry Frazee. Ruth was
quoted by the Boston Evening Standard saying "Frazee is not good enough to
own any ball club, especially one in Boston."
