"I'm happy that my contributions over the 10 years that I was there are being acknowledged now,"
"Looking back at it now and that story being documented by the Mariners, it worked out,"
The Seattle Mariners will retire Randy Johnson's No. 51 during a pregame ceremony on May 2, 2026. Johnson spent 10 seasons in Seattle, going 130-74 with a 3.42 ERA. He will become the fifth number retired by the franchise, joining Ken Griffey Jr. (No. 24), Edgar Martinez (No. 11) and Ichiro Suzuki; all MLB teams have retired Jackie Robinson's No. 42. Johnson won four consecutive Cy Young Awards and a 2001 World Series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. He debuted with the Montreal Expos in 1988, was traded to Seattle in 1989, and broke out in 1993 with a 19-8 record and a 3.24 ERA. The 1995 season saw Johnson go 18-2 with a 2.48 ERA and earn his first of five Cy Young Awards while the Mariners reached the ALCS amid stadium funding controversy. Johnson expressed gratitude that his contributions during his Seattle tenure are being acknowledged.
