Happy Mets Birthday in Quotes to Howard Johnson

Fellow Mets fans, today is the birthday of the one and only Ho Jo, Howard Johnson. Before David Wright came along, Ho Jo was the best third baseman in Mets history. He played with the Mets from 1985--1993. He was also part of one of the best deals in Mets history as he was traded from the Tigers to the Mets for Walt Terrell.

Ho Jo was a two time all-star, the National League Home Run Leader in 1991 and in 1987, he was a members of the prestigious 30/30 club---30 home runs and 30 stolen bases.

Without a doubt, Johnson is well deserving of the Mets birthday quote of the day

"Howard Johnson could turn God's own fastball around."
--Tim McCarver
