Willie’s Firing Harkens Harrelson Back to 1990
By Joe McDonald on June 23, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – Late at night as the Mets were on the road, the team fired its manager as the highly regarded club – just a season and change off a game 7 loss in the NLCS – floundered a few games under .500. New York was supposed to dominate, because a Cy Young winner from Minnesota came to the club and the lefthanded closer was considered one of the best in the league. Does this sound familiar? The year was 1990 and the manager that time was Davey Johnson, who led the club to its second World Series in 1986 and then back to the playoffs two years later. Yet, the Mets faded at the end of 1989 and even though they added Frank Viola and John Franco, the Amazins were no so fantastic in the new decade, getting out of the box the tune of a 20-22 start.
