Davey Johnson, a four-time MLB All-Star infielder who won two World Series titles with the Baltimore Orioles and managed the 1986 champion New York Mets, has died. He was 82.
The Mets' longtime public relations official Jay Horwitz announced Johnson's passing Saturday morning.
Horwitz said he got a call from Johnson's wife, who revealed the news of his death.
"Last night around midnight I got a call that I had been dreading. When I saw Susan Johnson's name appear, I knew that news would not be good," Horwitz wrote.
Johnson's biographer Erik Sherman also confirmed his death on social media.
