Giants P Randy Johnson Saturday will make his first start at AT&T Park since becoming the 24th pitcher to win 300 games on June 4, and the team will honor the milestone in several different ways. The club is offering a special one-time price of $10 for View Level tickets that are regularly priced at $15-24. Also, all attendees will be given a commemorative Randy Johnson 300th Career Win poster at the gate. The team is averaging 34,573 fans at home so far this season, 82.5% of capacity, but Giants Senior VP/Communications Staci Slaughter said that the team is “expecting a large crowd” for Saturday's game. The club is currently selling T-shirts at the team store in the ballpark that feature Johnson throwing a pitch with “300” imposed over the top. The $25 Majestic shirts are black with orange and white lettering. Prior to Saturday’s game, the Giants are hosting a special on-field ceremony featuring other 300-game winners, including Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and Gaylord Perry. The ceremony will be telecast live on S.F.'s NBC affiliate. Slaughter said that there will be “various congratulatory messages from former players running throughout the game.”
