Bochy Fills Out Rest Of NL All-Star Staff

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) -- Current New York Mets manager Terry Collins and former skipper Davey Johnson have been selected as coaches for next month's All-Star game at Citi Field in New York City.

Johnson, currently Washington's skipper, managed the Mets to their last World Series title in 1986. They were picked Thursday by the San Francisco Giants' Bruce Bochy, the NL's manager.

Detroit's Jim Leyland, the AL manager, also chose coaches with Mets' ties: Robin Ventura of the Chicago White Sox and John Gibbons of the Toronto Blue Jays. Ventura played for the Mets' last NL pennant winner in 2000 and Gibbons is a former Mets player and minor league manager.

The All-Star Game is July 16.
