Keith Hernandez wants nothing to do with Mets manager job

Keith Hernandez won’t be managing the Mets anytime soon.

The beloved Amazin’ World Series champion said Saturday morning he has no interest in ditching the TV booth, where he’s helped call Mets games on SNY since 2006, for the dugout.

“I will not coach the Mets,” Hernandez said when asked by fans what he thought of Mickey Callaway being fired Thursday. “Sorry, I can’t put 12 hours into the ballpark like it’s required today. It’s just absurd.

“No, no. No way.

“They played hard,” the 65-year-old 1986 World Series champion said of the Mets this season.
