Episode Details

The New York Mets will honor their legendary manager Davey Johnson, who passed away in 2025, by wearing a memorial patch on their uniforms throughout the 2026 season. Johnson, who managed the team from 1984 to 1990, holds the franchise record for most managerial wins and highest winning percentage. He led the team to an average of over 95 wins per year and delivered their most memorable victory, the 1986 World Series championship. Johnsons family, including his widow Susan, stepson Jeremiah Allen, and grandson Kai Casebolt, will participate in the ceremonial first pitch on Opening Day, with Hall of Famers Darryl Strawberry and Mookie Wilson catching the pitch. This tribute celebrates Johnsons winning legacy as the Mets prepare for another strong season.
