Livermore has a pitcher in the Hall of Fame.
Randy Johnson, who pitched for the Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants during his 22-year Major League Baseball career, cruised to Cooperstown on Tuesday in typical dominant fashion, according to the Bay Area News Group.
Johnson, one of the tallest left-handed pitchers of his generation at 6-foot-9, was elected to the Hall with the third-highest vote total in history, the news source reported.
He was listed in 534 out of the 549 ballots submitted by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Johnson won 303 big-league games -- the 300-win mark is rarely approached, let alone broken -- and won five Cy Young awards while striking out an eye-popping 4,875 batters, second only to Nolan Ryan.
Johnson was born in Walnut Creek before he attended school in Livermore, where he also worked as a security guard at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, according to JockBio.com.
