The day after the day off game. Davey Johnson’s best managerial decision. Seeing that the Mets were tired and distracted after the tough series with the Astros and losing the first two games in New York he cancelled both media day and workouts and told them to go to their hotels and relax. Keith Hernandez wound up taking a four hour nap. It paid off.
Jerry Koosman was “The Koos can’t lose” in 1969 and Bob Ojeda was “You can’t beat a Ojeda” in 1986. The best Mets teams always had a top line lefty starter tossing gem after gem.
Boyd threw a tantrum when he got to the dugout after the top of the first. There is a framed shot of him shown after the commercial break before the bottom of the inning. I clearly remember in the original broadcast seeing video in that frame of Boyd kicking over the bench and fuming while the other Sox kept clear. Seems to have been edited with a still shot replacing the video.
I just listened to podcast about the oil can and come to find he was high off crack this game he said he smoked crack everyday for 1986 season so very interesting and thanks for this gem
1986, WHEN BASEBALL WAS STILL BASEBALL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE STUPID DH. NO GHOST RUNNER AT 2B IN XTRA INNI NG GAMES, NO PITCH COUNT, NO LIMIT ON THROWS TO 1B BY THE PITCHER, NO OVERPAID FIVE TO SIX INNING STARTER.
But also no walk up music, no glove adjustment routine b/w pitches , no armor to be taken off after a walk or a hit. , no replay challenges, no specialty relievers facing one batter ...all the things that caused the game to drag. This was special. Just baseball
I was a kid at the time just getting into baseball and I was a big Mets fan. I wasn’t overly familiar with the American League players. The way they talked up Boyd during warmups I thought they were facing Cy Young and didn’t stand a chance 😂😂
Interesting piece of meaningless trivia. In their first 3 World Series the Mets had a leadoff Home Run in Game 3! 38 years later and I'm STILL kind of shocked that Vin Scully (and everyone else in the booth) had no clue that the Mets lead off Game 3 of the 1969 and 1973 World Series with a home run too!! Tommie Agee in 69 and Wayne Garrett in 73.
Lol I feel like 40% of the league was on white. Gooden and Strawberry. Oil Can Boyd lmao. Just hilarious. On another note could you imagine a black dude having OIL CAN as a nickname today Lmao? Wouldn't be allowed. Too racist. Wish we could go back to late 80s early 90s and stay there permanently.
I’ve never seen anything like it. That looks like something you would’ve seen in a cheesy sports film. Only the Mets could pull off something weird like this, haha!

Third best pitcher for the Red Sox wouldn’t have cracked the Mets rotation. But in a series where you can start Clemens and Hurst five times you can keep it close.
Oil can was so high on Crack and weed he didn't hear Dykstra thats a folks tale what was real is oil can got high on weed every time he pitched so he could block out the nosie the one time he didn't he said he could hear everything from the fans 2 the vending machine i think it was the crack everyday during the 1986 season that did it more than racial slurs he has been called that his whole life he is from Mississippi and he was A pitcher for Red Sox
BOY, IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE AND HEAR TWO GREAT ONES FROM THE BROADCASTING BOOTH; THE GREAT VINCE SCULLY AND JOE GARAGIOLA. R.I.P. BOTH OF THEM.

The real Unsung hero for the Mets in the ‘86 World Series was Sid Fernandez.

It wasn't hepatitis that had Oil Can Boyd that then lmao. Dude was on that crack rock in 1986.

@@speakinfaxonly21 Derrick Lewis nickname is Black Beast
Dykstra's leadoff homerun, Hernandez and Carter get out of the rundown, Heep cashes in on Boston's mistake, and the Mets are finally in the series

When baseball was great. Before the horror of steroids and the awful cheating systems of the 2017 Astros tarnished the game forever.
Oil Can craps his pants in the first inning and this game is over before it even begins.
a tip : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Brady Jericho Yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :D

Vin Scully the best in the business
Oil Can Boyd best nickname in baseball

yeah the sox had the mets well beat and threw it away. gooden was dogcrap in this series , TATTOED by red sox
Lmao gooden was Doo Doo bud. Extremely overrated. You can tell the co*e wore off by the world series
Sox had great chance in game 6
I’m a diehard Red Sox fan. My wife was born this day....
BOWIE KUHN AND PETER UBERROTH WERE BETTER MLB COMMISSIONERS THAN WHAT MLB HAS NOW, FRED MANFREAK.
Commentators:
Vin Scully & Joe Garagiola
number 42 is the second spitter
Dykstra
Oil can was so high on Crack and weed he didn't hear Dykstra thats a folks tale what was real is oil can got high on weed every time he pitched so he could block out the nosie the one time he didn't he said he could hear everything from the fans 2 the vending machine i think it was the crack everyday during the 1986 season that did it more than racial slurs he has been called that his whole life he is from Mississippi and he was A pitcher for Red Sox
This was the game where Ron Darling later proclaimed that Lenny Dykstra was using racial epithets towards Oil Can Boyd.
The DH is the dumbest thing ever inflicted upon baseball....If you don't want pitchers to bat, just have an 8 man lineup.
Highschool dimensions in left and right field at that ball park.
Mets play kick the can. Hee Hee.
