Connection to Johns Hopkins

A annon has listed Davey Johnson as a alum of Johns Hopkins University, see [1], with the souce being,

"The Sporting News Baseball Register 1975 reported that Dave Johnson (he was known as Dave then) attended a university in Texas as well as Johns Hopkins, receiving his Bachelors degree in mathematics"

. I am suspect of this information, While all the info that i have seen points to hime being a Grad of Texas A&M i have yet to see anything where he is mentioned attening Hopkins. Also considering that at the time he would have attemned Hopkins he would have been for Atlanta. Does anyone have any information to substationate this claim. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 06:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Two links connecting DJ to Hopkins:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/23/AR2006032301948.html

it's hard to say how many emotions are at play in a man so smart he has an advanced degree in mathematics, was 15 years ahead of the curve in using exotic statistics devised by a Johns Hopkins professor in his strategy and made his first million in real estate in the 1960s long before he became an all-star with the Orioles

At Texas A & M for two years, Johnson eventually recognized the difficulties of studying to become a veterinarian while playing winter ball, and left school to join the Baltimore Orioles' minor-league organization. His education continued, however, for along with taking computer and math courses at Johns Hopkins University, he finally learned about his father's wartime travails.

intresting well all i can say is incorperate the information ino the article. --Boothy443 | trácht ar 01:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the connection to Hank Aaron and Sadahuro Oh, the Home Run Kings, because Hank Aaron is no longer the U.S. home run king. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.21.109.159 (talk) 20:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
