"In the 40th anniversary of the 1986 championship, this is a fitting tribute to the man who guided the team to that title."
"Johnson holds the franchise record with 595 managerial wins and a .588 winning percentage."
"His widow, Susan, will escort his stepson and grandson to the mound for a ceremonial first pitch."

His family will participate in Opening Day ceremonies, with a ceremonial first pitch caught by Hall of Famers from the 1986 team.
