Davey Johnson, a former 2nd baseman for the Orioles and on to manager of the NY Mets has passed at age 82. He was one of the best and led the Mets to win the series in 1986.
A keen baseball strategist, Johnson brought the Mets to win 90 games several times and even 100 in one of his years as their manager. It was always a pleasure to go to the games at Shea Stadium during his tenure there. He had terrific players and to name a few, Tom Seaver and Darryl Strawberry along with Dwight Gooden were among his standouts.
Condolences to Davey's family. May he soar with the angels.
