Later that day in front of a capacity crowd at Olsen Field, his Aggies delivered a 6-2 victory. Despite the somber mood that his father’s death cast over him, Johnson lists the accomplishment made by his team that day as one of his highlights of his career at A&M. Ironically most of what John son considers to be highlights during his 1 0 seasons as the head coach at A&M have taken place away from the diamond. “I believe that my calling is to maybe give them some direction in life,” Johnson said. “Some of my highlights are guys (former players) calling back who have found a job or are needing help.” Junior shortstop Robert Harris said he admires Johnson for hav ing those feelings and beliefs. “Coach Johnson is the type of person that I’d like to be,” Harris said. “He’s a fair person and he always comes through with what he says.” Before becoming head coach in 1985, Johnson served two years as an assistant under A&M coaching legend Tom Chandler. When Johnson arrived on the A&M campus in 1983, he brought with him an impressive resume. After playing three seasons ( 1967-69) in the New York Mets’ minor league organization, Johnson began his coaching ca reer as an assistant to Bob Leigh at his alma mater, the University of New Mexico. After two seasons at New Mexico, Johnson moved on to the University of Arizona in 1972 where he served as an as sistant for live seasons, one of which was under Hall of Famer Frank Sancet and the other four under Hall of Famer Jerry Kin- dall. In 197 7 Johnson jouri east to take an assistant coa job at Mississippi State Univ under yet another Hall < Ron Polk. Johnson said that he great deal from eacl coaching greats that h mg htv >f Fai arnecl a of the served under. He attributes muchofli success from the knowledget he garnered as a member oftb respective staffs. “Just through osmosis I should have a little extra info: rnation," Johnson said. “Allol those coaches were different,so got to pick and choose what' the night would work in mype sonality” His career .731 winningpt: centage makes him the slit! winningest active Division; coach. After being named NCM Coach of the Year last season Johnson joins Polk, Kindall,anj Sancet as past winners.

Bob Shapiro also said Wednesday he thinks Strawberry “bottomed out” on Sunday when he disappeared and failed to show up for an exhibition game. Strawberry returned to Los Angeles from New York on Wednesday after meeting with one doctor representing the players’ union and another representing the owners to determine a course of treatment for his drinking and drug use. Shapiro said Strawberry was accom panied to New York by his wife.
