I grew up in NJ as a Yankees fan, but I had a soft spot in my heart for the Mets. The 86 team were entertaining that's for sure. They rivaled the mid 70's Yankees for crazy headlines, but they balled out on the field. I think every NY baseball fan remembers exactly where they were when that crazy game 6 ending happened. A very fond memory for me. I also got to see Dwight Gooden pitch live a few times back then at Shea. His first couple seasons were incredible. He was a right handed Sanded Kaufax. Absolutely dominant. Sadly cocaine and injuries doomed a sure HOF career.

The giraffe is here

The dagger for the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series was the homer by Strawberry. You could just sense that the Sox were done.

Ok this is the teamup I’ve been looking for

man, New York owned Baltimore in the late 60s. First the Jets' upset vs the Colts, and then the Mets doing the same vs the Orioles.

Awesome video guys. Never disappoint.

I don't know if you guys would ever do this, but I'd love to see a video on the 85 Hanshin Tigers. Think of them as the 69 Mets of the NPB. Everything just clicked for them that year, and the managed to beat one of the best teams in NPB history in the Japan Series. If you'd ever wanna do a video on it, I'd be happy to help.

It's kind of incredible that just about every year the Mets make the playoffs, there's some kind of extra drama to things, always a narrative or story. 1969 - "Miracle Mets" 1973 - Worst division champ winning percentage ever (lots of injuries that year), still beat the Big Red Machine and push the Jackson-era A's to Game 7 1986 - Everything you just heard here. 1988 - 100 win team falls to "Mike @#$%ing Scioscia" 1999 - Dramatic run to Wild Card leads to Game 163, Pratt's series ending walk-off, Grand Slam Single, "Kenny @#$%ing Rogers" 2000 - Subway Series, Piazza vs. Clemens 2006 - Endy Chavez with the catch, near 100 win team falls to "Yadier @#$%ing Molina" 2015 - Insane run to the division crown, Daniel Murphy goes crazy 2016 - Closest thing to normal with a Wild Card game loss, but still an epic Bumgarner vs. Syndergaard duel. Might just be the nature of playing in a city like New York, but there's always *something* going on with this club when it's good, never a "normal" great season. And the weirdest part? No other expansion club has more than two World Series titles, so the Mets are tied for the lead. Um...yay? ...Yeah, let's get to adding some hardware ASAP now that the Wilpons are gone.

I was 13. What a time to be alive. EPIC season!! Their slogan was baseball like it oughta be! The bullpen was badass too and gets forgotten a bit because the starting pitching and clutch hitting was just so sick. NYC, mid80s and for a decade the Yankees were second fiddle to the Mets. Woooo!

You didn’t mention the mike Scott subplot that cast a huge shadow over the nlcs.

I remember both of those teams. The big difference is that in '69, the Mets came out of nowhere to win it all. They overcame 100:1 odds. In '86, everyone expected them to win it all and they damn near blew it.

'86...I will never forget it. Amazing.

I love the team from Queens. Let's Go Mets! Watching from London UK.

1969 Tom Weaver's last eight starts where all nine inning complete games. 72 innings pitched allowed 9 runs. That's 8 straight complete games to finish season . Game 4 of Searies Seaver went 10.0 innings giving up one run. Unbelievable!

Did they mention the 1969 Mets had Nolan Ryan on it?

I like that Thanos-like introduction of the Wilpons at the end there

The 1973 team deserves some love. Though they didn't win the Series, they were the improbable team that year. Well worth a deep look.

METS VID! Lets go!

Even as a Royals fan, I'm so mad we won the 2015 World Series instead of the 2014 World Series. I would have loved to have seen David Wright win a championship at the expense of the Giants.

I was able to enjoy both World Series wins! I remember how amazing the Mets were a d the attitudes of the fans who were dumbfounded by their win. The 86 Mets were even more amazing by how they never gave up!

As a 12 year old kid and Cubs fan in 1969, I remember this all too painfully. The Cubs were in 1st place all year. Late in the season, they lost like 3 out of 4 to the Mets in Wrigley and then went to NY and lost another series to them. It was a omen of things to come for the next 47 years until 2016 when the Cubs finally did win a WS

Boston Red Sox: Look! It says we are World Champions New York Mets: that thing is a liar

I was not a Mets fan before 1986. That series changed that. I'm still not a huge Mets fan, but I'm a fan of that year's team. It is still to this day, my favorite World Series that I've ever watched.

TWO other great moments in Mets' history: Johann Santana's no-hitter on June 1, 2012, and Bartolo Colon's home run against the Padres.

I was 6 in 1986, my Dad saved the vhs tapes. I watched the tapes all the time growing up.

The other three that we lost - are nothing to be ashamed of. We lost to great teams who were having a multi-year playoff run. The '73 A's were a powerhouse and went on to repeat the next year. The 2000 Yankees were another powerhouse. And Kansas City had lost the WS the year before they beat us and were an excellent and more complete team than us. We could have destroyed everyone in '99 but they didn't have elite pitching - but we did have one of the greatest infields ever. You guys should do a video on that '99 team, asking where does that infield rank all-around with hitting and defense. Piazza catching and mashing, Olerud was a GG level first baseman and could rake with the best of them. Same for Ventura at 3rd and Alfonzo at second. And to this day Rey Ordonez is still the most incredible shortstop I've ever seen with the glove. If he'd been able to hit he'd be in Cooperstown. Thast infield was CRAZY and never gets enough props. Anyway, if we copy the Braves blueprint of building a real farm system stacked with talent while also having the money to sign any big name free agents - we'll be a problem for a long time. But our whole scouting system needs to be torn down and built back up.

You should do an episode about the Pirates. They’ve basically done nothing since 1979.

The 1968 Mets drew 1.7M in attendance which was second in the National League (Cardinals drew 2M and won the WS). They were 4th overall in MLB behind Detroit (the other WS participant in '68) and Boston (who played in the WS in '67). So yeah, the team that finished 1 game out of last place in the NL out drew most of MLB. Slightly more than "200 fans."

Hope you have a fast recovery!!
