What has been a difficult start to 2021 for the Los Angeles Dodgers has now seen some positive news with former manager Davey Johnson home after being hospitalized due to coronavirus (COVID-19).
New York Mets vice president of alumni public relations and team historian Jay Horwitz has been providing updates on behalf of the Johnson family. Johnson was a second person with ties to the Dodgers who recently was in the hospital after contracting the virus.
Former pitcher Tommy John began battling it late last year, along with a bout of pneumonia, and earlier this month was released from the hospital.
