As the Mets embark on their managerial search, it’s interesting to note that of the Mets 20 managers only eight have been hired for another job.  For some, there were extenuating circumstances.  Casey Stengel broke a hip.  Gil Hodges passed away.  Terry Collins is retiring or being forced into retirement depending upon your point of view.

With that said, for the most part, managing the Mets is typically a final step in a manager’s career.  As noted there were eight exceptions.  Can you name them?  Good luck!
