In 1995, Buck Showalter managed the Yankees. In 1996, former broadcaster turned manager Joe Torre won the World Series with the club.
In 2000, Buck Showalter managed the Diamondbacks. In 2001, former broadcaster turned manager Bob Brenly won the World Series with the club.
It is time for Gary Cohen to do what is right, and bring his vast knowledge of baseball and unique ability to evaluate players to the Mets dugout.
Just think of how if the Mets had had better base running in 2015 instead of playing a Net Negative out there every day, the Mets probably win the World Series that year. This is the kind of leadership the Mets need.
Will Gary Cohen manage the Mets? I can’t imagine he will give up that cushy job at SNY where you can mail in home run calls like you are John Sterling. The Mets will have to continue their extensive search.
