Randy Johnson's perfect game stands the test of time
FOX Sports Arizona was honored to have Hall of Famer Randy Johnson live-tweeting during Wednesday's replay of his 2004 perfect game. (#RJPerfectGame was trending for more than three hours.)
It was the 12th anniversary of Johnson's historic effort, and Johnson admitted during the replay that it made been many years since he'd watched it, and there were many details he had forgotten.
I haven’t watched this game in a lot of years so it’s all coming back to me and it’s interesting to relive this. #RJPerfectGame

@Dbacks well played. I was busy setting the foundation for the Brandon Webb Memorial Highway anyway.

By the way, if you're pressed for time, @dbacks put together this sequence of all 27 outs, which requires only 2:38. That's efficiency, folks.
In case you missed @FOXSPORTSAZ's airing of the #RJPerfectGame, here's all 27 outs. #DbacksMemorieshttps://t.co/we49RZRz4S
