Share your memories of Bob Johnson HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: Steve OB Some day, I would like some great baseball mind or king of the General Managers to tell me why the heck the Mets traded Bob Johnson away. He hit .348 on a team that hit about .225. He played every known position and, while he wasn't Rey Ordonez, he wasn't Rod Kanehl, either. What I remember is every time I looked up from my score sheet after writing a "K" for Al Moran or someone, Bob Johnson was lining a hit into center field and busting around first base. I wonder if he insulted M. Donald Grant (which wasn't hard) or something to get peddled away. Mario Navetta I had to confirm what I recall. Bob was a terrific player whom the Mets should have held on to. Granted that they got Art Shamsky in a trade, but it would have meant even more to a 1969 team if they had both been allowed to stay. Metsmind December 24, 2002 Bob Johnson was a scrappy utility man who played hard and performed well for the Mets for one season. However, 1) Al Weis did a fair job as a 2B/SS after Johnson left 2) After leaving NY, Johnson split 3 seasons with 4 teams, totaling 5 homers and 25 ribby's, approx. what he had accomplished as a Met. What Bob Johnson did was become someone the Mets could trade to improve the club. Boy we had good GM's in the 60's. r kleinke October 20, 2004 He shined for the Mets in 1967. I was 12 years old and my friend and I met him at the Mets fan club meeting and I asked him about how it was playing for the 1966 world champion Baltimore Orioles. I was heart broken when he was traded, but look what the Mets received - Art Shamsky. Jamey Bumbalo November 10, 2006 Bob Johnson had a decent career as a journeyman infielder (eight teams in ten years), most notably with the Orioles. He is an unknown Met, even though he hit .348 in 1967 (he had 230 ABs--is that the highest average ever for a Met with that many at- bats?). He also hit way above .300 for the A's in 1969. Memories can be tricky, Steve OB: Johnson played for the Mets in 1967 and Al Moran played for them in 1963 and 1964. B Miller March 17, 2011 The only player I can think of that never had a position on his baseball card. It always read Bob Johnson Inf-OF. Jim Rowland August 23, 2019 The Mets couldn’t keep both Johnson and Shamsky since they traded Johnson for Shamsky
