- Davey Johnson, the All-Star second baseman who won two World Series as a player with the Baltimore Orioles and managed the New York Mets to their dramatic victory in the 1986 World Series. Davey's 595 wins remain the most in franchise history, and his legacy is highlighted by him leading the 1986 team to a World Series. He had a distinguished 13-year playing career, including winning two World Series titles with the Orioles.
A slick-fielding cog on the dominant Orioles teams of the late 1960s and early '70s, Johnson won three Gold Glove awards before embarking on a decorated managerial career that saw him take four different franchises to the postseason. He was one of the game's premier skippers of the 1980s and '90s, winning Manager of the Year honors in both leagues -- with the Orioles in 1997 and the Washington Nationals in 2012 -- and finishing more than 300 games over .500 (1,372-1,071) over the course of 17 seasons as a manager.
