A few teams can lay claim to Johnson's legacy, but it is hard to deny that he was at the top of his game during his time with the Diamondbacks. Johnson signed a four-year (with an option for a fifth year) $52.4 million contract in late 1998.

In addition to multiple All-Star appearances, Cy Young Awards, and a World Series MVP, Johnson captured the imagination of young baseball fans in the early 2000s. The towering left-handed starting pitcher made everyone want to rock the Diamondbacks' purple and teal threads. Whether it be the pinstripes, the all-black look, or the purple look, Johnson made the Diamondbacks one of the coolest teams of the new millennium.
