Read: 25 Years of Keith Hernandez
On this date, 25 years ago, the Mets acquired Keith Hernandez from the Cardinals for Neil Allen and Rick Ownby.
In the New York Post, Brian Costello does a fantastic job of recapping the trade, as well the legacy that Hernandez has established during his time in New York.
In the article, Costello asks Hernandez if he would consider being manager of the Mets, as was speculated about recently, to which Hernandez said:
“My name always comes up. I’m not interested. It did make me uncomfortable because I like Willie. I think he’s a good field manager. Managing entails so much more today than it did in my time [as a player]. I’m just not prepared to make that kind of commitment.”
in the article, Costello also talks with SNY’s Gary Cohen, and me, from MetsBlog.com.
