These days, when you think of the Arizona D'Backs, Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" might come to mind for knowin' how to hold five-time Cy Young winner Randy Johnson.
Currently leading the league with 180 strikeouts, the Diamondbacks recently celebrated Johnson's 4,000th strikeout by presenting him with a special left-handed, Fender Stratocaster guitar with Rawlings baseball stitching and a Jumbotron message from the rock group KISS.
When Johnson trades places, and heads to the plate, the 17-year veteran wants to hear the hard stuff -- Jimi Hendrix and Metallica.
