NEW YORK _ A day after being fired as Mets manager, Mickey Callaway admitted that he was "disappointed" to lose his job, which "stings a bit." But he also found pride in his two-year tenure.
"I'm proud of what we accomplished together," Callaway said Friday in a statement to Newsday. "Many players got better, our team improved, and the Mets are in a better spot today to be a World Series contender.
"I too am in a better spot because of this experience, and am excited about where my next landing spot will be in this baseball world. These two years have humbled me, educated me, matured me, and motivated me all at the same time."
