Davey Johnson: My Wild Ride in Baseball and Beyond

Davey Johnson is best known for managing the New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Baltimore Orioles—and taking all three clubs to their respective league championship series during his time at the helm. When teams needed to improve, they hired Johnson, and he delivered, memorably leading the Mets to the 1986 World Series title.

He began writing about baseball in 1962 and continued through the decades, lately blogging about baseball’s postseasons.No Place I Would Rather Be tells the story of Angell’s contri... [Read More]
