Description

Davey Johnson is best known for managing the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Baltimore Orioles—and taking all three clubs to their respective league championship series all over his time on the helm. When teams needed to strengthen, they hired Johnson, and he delivered, memorably leading the Mets to the 1986 World Series title. Yet whilst he raised the bar of their success, all three clubs parted ways with Johnson, a pattern that puzzles him to this present day. A self-termed “army brat,” Johnson kept moving, managing the Los Angeles Dodgers then the Washington Nationals before announcing his retirement in 2013. But managing baseball has been just one a part of Johnson’s fascinating life. A true Renaissance man, Johnson has also found unbelievable success as a land investor, pilot, scratch golfer, scuba diving teacher, and mathematician, pioneering the usage of sabermetrics within the big leagues. Now, Johnson in spite of everything takes the time to meditate on his wild and remarkable journey, with reflections on not only his All-Star playing days and years of managerial success in New York, Cincinnati, and Baltimore, but on his entire career.
