Three very different New York Mets have a shot at the Baseball Hall of Fame next year. A class that will be headlined by Mariano Rivera should also include a few other notable names from the 1990s and 2000s. Will any of these Mets share in Mo’s glory?
Former manager Davey Johnson is the likeliest to get into Cooperstown although I’d refer to his odds as “slim.” He’s on the Today’s Game Era ballot. This vote is for guys who were passed over already and non-players.
Johnson had a solid playing career, but his spot on this ballot is for what he did as a manager.
