Former Mets manager Art Howe is in intensive care battling coronavirus. 

"Want to send best wishes on behalf of our entire organization to former @Mets manager Art Howe who is in a Houston hospital battling COVID-19," tweeted longtime Mets PR guru Jay Horwitz. "Never have met a nicer man."

Howe also managed the Athletics for seven seasons and the Houston Astros for five years.

Howe, 73, managed the Mets from 2003-04, winning 137 games in his two seasons. He was let go following 71-91 season in 2004, as the Mets then turned to Willie Randolph.
