And the 25th manager is…(I think)

We’ve been trying to name the 25 former Mets who managed in the big leagues….Tom wrote this very convincing email..

Shannon,

The one you’re missing (besides the guy who gave you Boyer, #24) is Norm Sherry, a ’63 Met and the manager of the Angels for two seasons in the 70’s. Sherry is also the guy widely credited with helping Koufax finally figure it out, telling Sandy to “slow down” his motion, which became that fabulous delivery we all can still see on video.

Tom

Works for me.   I think Tom is older than I am and he hasn’t lied to me yet, so if punking us with The Norm Sherry Hoax is how Tom has fun…he got me.

By now you guys should know I’m too lazy to look this stuff up.  I’m actually writing this Monday night and my back hurts from staining the deck.  I’m going to sleep.

Boyer is the 24th one, and for the other 23 read here.

The Mets are tied with the Dodgers at 25 for the most in the majors.  I don’t suppose we wanna try and make that list…let’s see Hodges, LaSorda…
