NEW YORK -- Eleven years after he last served as a major league manager, Terry Collins again holds that title.

The New York Mets have selected the 61-year-old Collins as the 20th manager in franchise history, according to a team source.

I forgot this guy even coached before. In 11 seasons he is 10 games over .500 for his managerial career. Interesting choice.

Wally Backman had too many problems off the field.

Personally, I wanted Yogi Berra back. ; )

Collins was picked by Anderson to restore order. After "Mission Accomplished", you'll see Backman elevated.
