speaking of which sad news davy johnson passed away um just an absolute legend
i had no idea
how much i only knew him as a manager he played uh you know his career ended
before my time
sort of in like the 70s but he played for those incredible oriel teams in the
late 1960s i believe
they won it in 66 and 70 with with both robinsons brooks and frank that whole
great run that the
orioles had uh mid-60s right through the late 70s of just incredible offensive
defensive players and
pitching staff then he goes on to manage and this is amazing he managed when he
became a baseball
manager after he retired he also went on to the braves and was part of uh with
hank aaron and was
the first was on the first mlb team where they had three players with 40 or
more home runs it was him
hank aaron and i apologize i i don't know the other guy's name so the guy retires
that's how
legendary this guy is he coached three years in the minors each at a
progressively high level and on each
all the three years he won a championship and then he took over for the new york
mets and the rest is
history one in 86 one of the greatest comebacks you know in in world series
history and one of the most
like that that was the one as a red sox fan they they all this fucking bucky
dent shit and all the
yankees it wasn't that it was fucking 86 because no matter what the yankees did
to us it was during
the regular season you know or it was before the world series even like when
they beat us in the
playoffs with aaron boone it was like we won it the next year so it didn't have
a chance to marinate but
i will fucking tell you what that mets loss in 1986 i watch it now now that we've
won world series and i
can actually appreciate how fucking hysterical it is i mean if you had it in a
hollywood script it's
to be like who gives up 15 singles in a row that's what it felt like but
anyways davy johnson managed
managed that team and um i think he went on to the reds and he did all of this
stuff right on through
like the nationals just like um i would put him up there with sort of a you
know like he carried the
torch of a guy i see like a don zimmer or a joe tory those guys who actually
played the game and then
you know had just as much success or if not more success as a manager like i'm
don zimmer played on
like the 55 dodgers joe tory was on the braves um i want to say maybe the cardinals
too i don't
know but anyway just a baseball guy so rest in peace to him and ken dryden ken
dryden of the
montreal command canadians um i didn't know this the boston bruins actually
drafted him
oops i gotta research how he ended up on the canadians but um absolutely stonewalled
us
through the 70s he only played he won played like he held out one of the you
know we went when we won
in 72 i believe i was re i read it real quick before the podcast i believe he
was holding he held
out for an entire year so we didn't have to go up against him with esposito kenny
hodge and all of
those guys derrick sanderson bobby or thank god he did because who knows what
would happen that guy was
like that good he literally he wanted he played from like 1971 to 80 or 79 i
believe he won the stanley
cup in 71 73 76 77 78 and 79 and then called it a career got into politics
wrote a whole bunch of books
was truly a renaissance man and um i remember all of my buddies that i worked
with in the warehousing that
were 10 years older than me oh my god the nightmare stories they used to talk
to me age to tell me about
ken dryden and there was no eye contact and they would just shake their head i
mean he was that good
um six foot four um an absolute beast and had a whole like i said a career as
an author and a
politician and all that incredible anyways which brings me back to myself 57
year old bald ginger who's
who's playing thousand oaks which admittedly pales in comparison to the
accomplishments of davy johnson
