‘Big Unit’ honored again

Johnson wins fourth straight Cy Young award

? Randy Johnson won yet another Cy Young Award and then he teed off.

No, not on baseball. The Big Unit was getting ready to play Pebble Beach Golf Links when his latest honor was announced Tuesday, and rather than delay his round, Johnson grabbed a cell phone and talked about his honor while deciding among woods and wedges.

“I’m trying to make a putt on No. 2 right now,” he said, the California coast off to his side.

His golf score was far lower than his perennially high strikeout total.

Johnson was a unanimous pick over Arizona teammate Curt Schilling, winning a record-tying fourth straight National League Cy Young and fifth overall one short of Roger Clemens’ record.

The Big Unit received all 32 first-place votes and 160 points from a panel of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

“The big picture, obviously, is to get to the World Series. If you remain consistent and have a good year, it’s kind of a bonus,” Johnson said, referring to the award.

Schilling received 29 second-place votes. Atlanta ‘s John Smoltz was third with 21 points.
