Randy Johnson Blocked Us On Instagram – Here’s The Full Story
You read that headline correct. 5x Cy Young winner turned professional photographer has blocked us on the gram. Why? We’re not exactly sure of the reasoning, but we think this is the story.
Earlier this week, we stumbled upon a video of a guy on the subway checking out his mullet in the window’s reflection. Hey, I get it. Look good, feel good, play good. But this man looked a lot like Randy Johnson in the ’90s. So naturally, we made a joke.
Pretty harmless joke. When you find a piece of content like that you have to post a caption immediately and that was the first thing that came to mind. Because that guy looked like Randy Johnson. Does he not?
Clearly he does enough to where the actual Randy Johnson felt the need to comment on that post with, and I quote, “that’s not me.”
Um. Yeah. We know, Randall.
So we laughed it off and went on with our days. I mean, I won’t lie, it was kinda cool that Randy Johnson commented on our IG post. We felt pretty good.
Until tragedy struck.
We noticed the following day that we had been blocked by @RJ51Photos. We can’t see his posts, following/followers count, nothing. He straight up blocked us. Just a devastating blow to the gut.
A.D. and I loved that man growing up. From pitching the Mariners through an epic divisional round win over the Yankees in ’95, to starring in Little Big League in ’94, to playing for the Astros for like eleven starts in ’98. But now? We don’t know what to think. Pretty sure we’re both still in shock.
Randy Johnson blocked us on Instagram.
It’s still weird to say, to be honest.
But this why we say you shouldn’t take anything we do seriously, because we don’t take ourselves seriously. Unfortunately, however, one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history took us seriously.
And then blocked us.
Again, Randy. We know that wasn’t you in that video. For the same reason we know you don’t actually represent the power caps in this Right Guard commercial.
I’m not going to ask for forgiveness, because I don’t think we did anything wrong. What I’ll ask for you is to not live your life as butt-hurt online as another former Diamondbacks pitcher.
