It's HoJo
Sitting down to lunch minutes ago with the beat reporters, manager Willie Randolph announced that Howard Johnson will be his new first-base coach. Randolph added that Johnson will specialize in baserunning and the outfield. Randolph said he also considered Gary Carter, Bobby Meacham, Rickey Henderson and Gerald Williams.
Following lunch, Johnson spoke to reporters via a conference call.
"It's a load off my shoulders," a thrilled Johnson said. "The minor leagues are where players go to learn and get better and the same can be said for coaches. You have to pay your dues."

Ha!
I remember Harry Caray used to call him "HoHo" Johnson!
Good move getting HoJo. Now Wright will have someone else besides Glavine in the clubhouse that can speak English.
