Terry Collins was the longest tenured manager of the New York Mets. He took them to the World Series, but after last season’s debacle, fans couldn’t hold the door for him to exit soon enough.
In came Mickey Callaway. There were a few changes to the Mets roster in the offseason, however, the players returning from injuries would be treated like acquisitions. Same players, new philosophy.
Two weeks into the season, every move Callaway made worked like a charm. The Mets had a 12-2 record, their best start in the history of the franchise.
