Mets great Howard Johnson struggling after grandson’s ‘bizarre’ lawnmower accident | New York Post

If Howard Johnson, beloved 1986 Met, doesn’t watch his primary Major League Baseball employer’s current games religiously, he makes a point of staying in the loop.

“I’ve kept an eye on them. Check the scores every night,” HoJo said in a recent telephone interview. “I know where they are, standings-wise. I know who’s hurt, who isn’t.”

And he knows how much the Mets’ rabid fan base hungers for another parade, an appetite he supports even if another title would make his club a less exclusive one.

“If they win a championship, it’s all good. I have no issue with them,” Johnson said of these 2021 Mets. “I think that when you look at our team, the ‘86 team, the ‘69 team is still just as popular if not more than they were (before the ‘86 Mets won it all). It’s good for Mets baseball. The fans love it when there’s a team that’s successful and playing well.”
