Mets All-Star Howard Johnson on ‘86, Doc, Darryl and his Mets HOF Induction
Howard Johnson had the unique experience of two franchise-defining World Series teams. HoJo was part of the ‘84 Tigers, a historically dominant team that remains the organization’s last to win a title. He was also memorably part of the ‘86 Mets, a team that is still revered today. He compares the two while reflecting on his multiple 30/30 seasons. He looks at his own Mets Hall of Fame induction, while also admiring Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, and Keith Hernandez having their numbers retired. HoJo remains a fan favorite and one of the most popular former players of that era. In this conversation, you can easily see why.
