Episode 381 - A Celebration of Davey Johnson

from This Week In Baseball History · host Mike Bates and Bill Parker

Please excuse Mike this week, as he is dealing with some laryngitis and was on restricted duty during this episode. But Bill certainly stepped up as the pair celebrate the life and career of the great Davey Johnson to mark his passing at the age of 82. Johnson was a star as a player and a superstar as a manager, leading the Mets to their second championship in 1986 and adding significant value to basically every team he helmed. But he also had a pugnacious and self-destructive streak that seemed to undermine him everywhere he went even as he succeeded beyond all expectations. Plus, happy birthday to Mike Hampton! And farewell to Billy Hunter.
