Howard Johnson
Howard Michael "HoJo" Johnson
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 178 lbs.
Born: November 29, 1960 in Clearwater, FL
Drafted: 1st round 1979 by the Detroit Tigers
Acquired: traded from the Tigers for Walt Terrell, December 1984
Departed: as a free agent, October 1993
One of the Mets' all-time good guys and a two-time NL All-Star, HoJo was also a rare three-time member of the 30/30 club. He solved the Mets' historically perplexing question at third base for most of nine years. Howard is shown here on his 1992 Upper Deck card, and many more cards are shown beneath the stats box.
