As a boy, I attended a Mets game and my friend and I got to meet Ron Gardenhire. He was nice and we asked him to hit a home run for us. He did not, so then we didn’t like him under the rules of unfair Kid Logic.
Ron went on to manage for 16 seasons. more often good than bad. The 114 loss season with the 2019 Tigers does drag his record down a bit, but I see a lot of 90+ win seasons with the Twins, a team they tried to contact.
He’s 63 and a former Met. Wouldn’t be the worst idea…but this is the Mets who will surely pick The Worst Idea.
Will Ron Gardenhire manage the Mets? No.
