Davey Johnson, who won three World Series titles as a player and manager with the Baltimore Orioles and New York Mets, has died. He was 82.
Johnson played 1,435 games with the Orioles, Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies, and Chicago Cubs. He also spent two seasons in Japan with the Yomiuri Giants. He was a four-time All-Star, three-time Gold Glove Award winner and was part of two World Series-winning teams with the Orioles in 1966 and 1970.
Following a playing career that spanned from 1965 to 1978, Johnson began managing in the minor leagues. In 1981, the Mets hired him to lead their Double-A team.
