American baseball agent Alan Nero tells the story of his client, Randy Johnson, who thought he was going to the World Series when he joined the New York Yankees in 2005. The "Big Unit" figured he would help bolster the pitching staff of that powerhouse club and it would breeze to the championship.
It didn't happen.
While Johnson won 17 and lost eight, posting a 3.79 ERA, the Yankees could not advance beyond the American League Divisional Series, as the Chicago White Sox went on to win the AL pennant and the World Series.
