We say happy birthday to Davey Johnson, who was born on this day in Orlando, Florida in 1943.   

We remember Johnson as a great second baseman and then as a manager.   

As a player, he hit .261 with 136 HR & 609 RBI over 1,435 games.    He played in 4 World Series with Baltimore and won several Gold Gloves.

As a manager, he won 1,372 games with an excellent .562 winning pct.    He led the New York Mets to the 1986 World Series title.   Johnson also won division titles with Baltimore in 1997 and Washington in 2012.

Great player & manager.
