Davey Johnson on HOF committee

At MLB.com Marty Noble writes about Davey Johnson, who can be considered to be the most successful Met manager ever. He writes that he averaged 96 victories over a six year span, one of those years the Mets won the World Series. Recently Johnson was elected to the veterans committee elections with many other prestigous names such as Whitey Herzog, Dick Williams and Billy Martin. It is a great accomplishment for Davey and the entire Mets organization for him to be elected onto this committee. Davey spent 14 seasons in total in the Mets organization from 1984-90, 1993-97, 1999-2000. He managed thirteen seasons with at least 115 games managed and his clubs won five division flags, also finishing second six times, third once and fifth once.
