It was announced that longtime Manager, Davey Johnson, passed away today.
He was 82 years old.
A very good player in his own right, Johnson was a slick-fielding Second Baseman who spent most of his career with the Baltimore Orioles, where he helped them win two World Series Championships (1966 & 1970). He was also a four-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner.
Johnson would become far more recognized as a Manager, most notably with the New York Mets, whom he took to a World Series Championship in 1986. He also skipped for the Cincinnati Reds, the Baltimore Orioles, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Washington Nationals, and had an overall record of 595-417.
We here at notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends, and family of Davey Johnson.
