Johnson took over as Mets manager in 1984 and was in charge for seven seasons.

He is the winningest manager in team history with a 595-417 overall regular-season record.

The Mets won at least 90 games the first five seasons of Johnson’s tenure.

He also had a long playing career, spending eight years with the Orioles and three with the Braves before shorter stints with the Phillies and Cubs.

Ironically, Johnson made the final out with the Orioles — a fly out to Cleon Jones — during the Mets’ World Series win in 1969.
