Johnson’s Mets would twice win 100 games or more (1986, 1988).

Crushing defeat for the Mets in the 1988 NLCS to the Dodgers. Yes that was the Year of Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson's miracle and all that.... but why did he - DJ that is -have Ron Darling pitching Game 7 of the NLCS and not Dwight Gooden?!

Davey Johnson managed according to strange baseball superstitions. He was lucky to have a bunch of players who could win on their own.
