Howard Johnson and Al Leiter were officially inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame.
NEW YORK — Howard Johnson and Al Leiter were inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame prior to the team's game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
“There’s probably not a day goes by that you don’t think about that — being able to play the game that we did when we were 25, play at that level,” Johnson said. “Every time you get out of bed is a reminder that was a long time ago. It’s almost like two different people. And the older we get, that person goes further and further away.”
“There are very few players in the history of the game who have been switch hitters with the power and speed that ‘HoJo’ brought to the table,” Cohen said. “To be a three-time 30/30 player is an extraordinary feat.”
