Oh man did that bring back memories, my dad God rest his soul was the hardest hard core Mets fan there ever lived, he knew more about baseball then any other man I knew, BOO FOR THE YANKEES, LET'S GO METS!!!
I love how awkwardly hilarious the 80's were!! Miss the 80's Mets!! If I was a few years older I coulda appreciated the 80's Mets. Born in '85...woulda been cool to see this team in their prime
Growing up in NY the Mets were my team, right now their my second favorite team (the DC Nationals being my favorite). But in '86, the Mets coming back and defeating the BoSox in the World Series was like New Years, Xmas, and the Fourth of July rolled into one! God willing, come October I will either see the Nats red or the Mets blue & orange in the playoffs. Lets go Mets (& Nats)!
i remember this from back in 86 and i still get all choked up and fired up seeing this all these years later they should do a remake with the new regime LETS GO METS!!!!
I really wish we had won it in 1999, 2000 and 2006. We should have won the World Series all 3 of those years! It's OK, we'll win it this year. We've got the teamwork to make the dream work.
i am a mets fan. i dont know why. they are the most depressing team to watch. BUT!,, this video made me less depressed. now i will watch them loose again today! lets go mets :(
I really miss all the swagger, balls and attitude this team had. We need to develop another team like this. Even though Mike Pelfrey is not the best pitcher we have, he shows that grit that this team needs. He is not afraid to be confrontational with opposing players. I thought we had that in Mike Piazza until he showed no balls in the Roger Clemons incident. I'm not saying we need a brawling team but we do need a team with balls, who are not afraid to play tough and take out anyone in their way
I'm a diehard Yankees fan, I'm not one of those bandwagon yankees fans who make fun of the Mets. I know what it feels like since I'm an Islanders fan. They have a bright future with Wheeler and Harvey. I never seen this team play since I was born in 1991, but they seemed like a very fun team to watch. I wish I saw Doc Gooden pitch on the Mets, it's a shame he got into the drugs, he could have been one of the best pitchers of all time.
Nice comment. Classy Yankees Fan..I'm from Riverdale in the Bronx and all my friends are die-hard Yankees Fan, upset that I'm a Mets fan from the Bronx, and crucify me for being one lol..Never seen em give us credit like you did!
Thanks...I played and watched baseball at a very young age so I always loved the sport. I don't get why some Mets fans worry so much about what the Yankees do, I know too many Mets fans who are also Red Sox fans because they hate the Yankees so much. Mets fans are better off just watching the Mets, dont worry about the Yankees. It must have been hard for you since you lived in the Bronx though lol. If a bandwagon Yankees fan is talking smack, just ask a trivia question, that will shut them up.
I'm the first one here, post LA D*****s fiasco!:) Let's go METS..... we got lost in the shuffle, thanks to that other team. (Such a long time ago, that 1986 theme song. I don't think they even write theme songs for sports teams anymore. A shame.)
The best thing about this video, for anyone not living at the time, was that they recorded it and produced it in the middle of the season, when the team had not accomplished anything yet. If they had failed it would have been a major embarrassment, but not a single fuck was given, because everyone knew the Mets were going to win the World Series as early as May.
For the record, coke was not the only reason Gooden's career went south. His arm was pitched to hamburger by the Mets' organization, and specifically Mel Stottlemyre, who then went on to ruin several young arms as the pitching coach of the Yankees.
The '86 Mets were the Bad Boys and Pranksters of baseball. Everyone who wasn't a Met fan HATED them with a passion. But, just like the title of a book written about the '86 Series... The Bad Guys Won. Go Mets.
This team had a swagger our talented-but-tormented boys NEED! And that comes in part from the manager... Dump Jerry Manuel! Wright, Reyes, Pagan, Thole, Ike...good infield! Santana, Niese, Dickey, Pelfrey...good rotation! Pagan's been anohter great surprise! Feliciano has carried the load out of the bullpen! But aside from them--we CAN do this, I still believe this team can at least contend, but it needs another starter, another reliever...and Maneul GONE! Let's Go Mets Go!
I don't care what ANYONE says, I enter every season thinking it's going to be the year...even if we're in the umps b June, damnit, they may be bums but THEY'RE OUR BUMS! Mets fans love their team a HELL of a lot more than cranky Yankee fans! And unlike Phillie fans, they can actually form a whole sentence without cursing! Go on, roast me for that, I don't care...I live in California and have never even BEEN to NYC (want to move there) but I've loved them my whole life! LET'S GO METS!
They ruled the City, back in the day. The two greatest moments in my life were seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and the ball going through Bill Buckner's legs. They are the mediocre of the mediocre-est right now, but I have patience, 'cause when they will get good again, and that'll be maybe in 5, 10, 20 years, who knows, it'll be ecstasy. NY METS FOREVER!
@44032 all I can recognize other than Mayor Koch are Howard Stern and Tony Bennett. I'll have to dig around in my mothers basement and see if I can find the VHS from back in the day!
@DarkosApprentice I agree with how you base Mets/Yankees fans from different boroughs. I grew up the only Mets fan on my block in the Bronx but you'll still see them in the Bronx although its nothing like the amount of Yankees fans there. I honestly can say living there, I didnt see any yankee fans boasting yankee pride til post 96' After that I noticed people in my neighborhood putting yankee banners, flags, and sticker decals on windows, cars, stores, and other small businesses in the area.
@xhemexx People always say that, but even without Buckner's error the game would have headed to the 11th inning tied and with all the momentum on the Mets side. The game was already tied; it's not like if Buckner makes the play the game is over.
@zicon6 1. I KNOW Pagan is an outfielder...I watch the games, thank you 2. Where'd you hear that, just checked the news online, can't find a single thing even saying he's thinking of leaving the Mets, let alone that he's going to the Yanks...source? LET'S GO METS GO!
@Weirsy06 The Mets had alreayd tied the game up on Stanley's wild pitch. And Mookie says that he would have beaten Buckner to the bag even if he'd fielded the ball. Look at the video: he could be right.
@JR08620 Not gonna lie, they're looking pretty decent right now. I live in Philly (sucks I know) and my friend, who is a HUGE Phillies fan flat out said "Shit man, I'm actually scared of the Mets this year". All I can say is, we'll see. Also, how about this Ike Davis character, good or what?!
No way; we're too banged up to trade, nobody would want to trade with us, because anyone we'd part with is on the disabled list. Besides, I REALLY like Daniel Murphy at first base. Young, he has a good swing, is already a solid .280+ slap hitter, and is decent defending. Young, already solid, and with the potential to develop, I like Murphy a lot. If they keep Ramon Martinez at second and Murphy at 1st- Wright, Reyes, Martinez, Murphy- all young and talented, improving together.....
That's where our Organization is headed despite the decent start so far...and at a constant losing rate I wouldn't be surprised if that jerk moved em to New Jersey lol.
This team had heart. The Mets now are a joke except a few players. I got a bad feeling David Wright will be a Yankee when his contract up. They won't spend money He wants a ring.
@Weirsy06 I don't think Buckner was beating Mookie to the bag anyway. Not a chance. If it didn't go through his legs, at least he would have saved the run from scoring, but the inning would have continued with first and third and the game tied.
It feels like a century ago I was sitting in front of my TV watching Bill Buckner's infamous error
The passing of Gary Carter is causing me to reminisce about the World Champion 1986 NY Mets, of which he was a key member.
Classic. Sport just doesn't have this kind of fun element anymore. Nothing beats the 80's.
I used to watch this video all the time when I was younger. Thank you for uploading it.
We're taking New York back! Let's Go Mets!
Oh man did that bring back memories, my dad God rest his soul was the hardest hard core Mets fan there ever lived, he knew more about baseball then any other man I knew, BOO FOR THE YANKEES, LET'S GO METS!!!
Mookie's the man! My all-time favorite Met! That's sweet!
That was an awesome 80s ad. Go Mets!
The inspiration for all Met teams. Let's Go Mets 2015!!!!!!
I love how awkwardly hilarious the 80's were!! Miss the 80's Mets!! If I was a few years older I coulda appreciated the 80's Mets. Born in '85...woulda been cool to see this team in their prime
That was awesome baseball in 1986, my dad loved that team.
Love this video, I had the video tape!! 1986 Was a big year for the Mets!!
I haven't seen this video in forever!!! Thanks for posting
go Mets. Atleast our fans our loyal. growing up in NYC since 1987, I didnt notice any real proud yankee fans til the late 90s.
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
We got the teamwork to make the dream work!!!!!
Let's go Mets go 2010!!!! There's no stopping us now!!!!
Love it! Mets should do a music video just like they did in 86 so that they can win it this year.
Growing up in NY the Mets were my team, right now their my second favorite team (the DC Nationals being my favorite). But in '86, the Mets coming back and defeating the BoSox in the World Series was like New Years, Xmas, and the Fourth of July rolled into one!

i remember this from back in 86 and i still get all choked up and fired up seeing this all these years later they should do a remake with the new regime LETS GO METS!!!!
Greatest, most fearless Mets team of all-time.
Awesome. I love the mets. Let's Go Met's,Go!
They had the best record that year. A great team
We have the most royal fans..even they r bad we still r big fans.,.. GO METS!!!
Lets go Mets go!
Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter were awesome leaders!
man i miss them.I wish we were the 86 mets
Geez I wasn't alive yet, but this as well as most of the late 80s was when the Mets were the toast of the town.
I really wish we had won it in 1999, 2000 and 2006. We should have won the World Series all 3 of those years!
It's OK, we'll win it this year.
We've got the teamwork to make the dream work.
I’ll never forget the late 80’s. Believe it or not, the Mets were By far the most superior team in New York City.
2009 is OUR year to SHINE LETS GO METS
i am a mets fan. i dont know why. they are the most depressing team to watch. BUT!,, this video made me less depressed. now i will watch them loose again today! lets go mets :(

Yeah, cause THIS is something to be proud of...
best Mets song...

(Such a long time ago, that 1986 theme song. I don't think they even write theme songs for sports teams anymore. A shame.)
The good old days.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THIS TIME, WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT HOME, LET'S GOOOO!
The best thing about this video, for anyone not living at the time, was that they recorded it and produced it in the middle of the season, when the team had not accomplished anything yet. If they had failed it would have been a major embarrassment, but not a single fuck was given, because everyone knew the Mets were going to win the World Series as early as May.
The good old days of the New York Mets
The Jays would want more.
A LOT more.
25 years ago this baseball season, That the mets win the world series.
Thanks for the suggestion. Reading it now. :-)
For the record, coke was not the only reason Gooden's career went south. His arm was pitched to hamburger by the Mets' organization, and specifically Mel Stottlemyre, who then went on to ruin several young arms as the pitching coach of the Yankees.
@mingrassia33 The seats in Shea were orange, blue, green and red.
Buckner had this buzzing through his head in Game 6.....
This video reminds me why i love the Mets, and makes me less pissed off about hte Mets now. Slightly
The '86 Mets were the Bad Boys and Pranksters of baseball. Everyone who wasn't a Met fan HATED them with a passion.
But, just like the title of a book written about the '86 Series... The Bad Guys Won.
Go Mets.
great way to celebrate a mets win!!!!!!!
R.I.P. Gary Carter
this and the Bears vid were the best. Same year, same outcome. LOL
Maybe sports teams should do more videos. LMAO
you know i say everthing wen i go to the citi field !LETS GO METS EVERBODY SAY LETS GO METS! I WANNA HEAR YOU
2015 NL EAST CHAMPS - MAKE IT HAPPEN - LET'S GO METS GO!
This team had a swagger our talented-but-tormented boys NEED!
And that comes in part from the manager...
Dump Jerry Manuel!
Wright, Reyes, Pagan, Thole, Ike...good infield!
Santana, Niese, Dickey, Pelfrey...good rotation!
Pagan's been anohter great surprise!
Feliciano has carried the load out of the bullpen!
But aside from them--we CAN do this, I still believe this team can at least contend, but it needs another starter, another reliever...and Maneul GONE!
Let's Go Mets Go!
How I wish Shea Stadium was still here, what were they thinking with Citi Field :/
Best team in the MLB ever
I don't care what ANYONE says, I enter every season thinking it's going to be the year...even if we're in the umps b June, damnit, they may be bums but THEY'RE OUR BUMS!
Mets fans love their team a HELL of a lot more than cranky Yankee fans!
And unlike Phillie fans, they can actually form a whole sentence without cursing!
Go on, roast me for that, I don't care...I live in California and have never even BEEN to NYC (want to move there) but I've loved them my whole life!
LET'S GO METS!
They ruled the City, back in the day. The two greatest moments in my life were seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and the ball going through Bill Buckner's legs.

@Weirsy06 Not to mention the Red Sox still had their chance in game 7..
@44032 all I can recognize other than Mayor Koch are Howard Stern and Tony Bennett. I'll have to dig around in my mothers basement and see if I can find the VHS from back in the day!
@wallstreetatheist I live in NYC, and I get the joke. I was responding to their stupid argument in the ad, since you re-stated it here.
@DarkosApprentice I agree with how you base Mets/Yankees fans from different boroughs. I grew up the only Mets fan on my block in the Bronx but you'll still see them in the Bronx although its nothing like the amount of Yankees fans there. I honestly can say living there, I didnt see any yankee fans boasting yankee pride til post 96' After that I noticed people in my neighborhood putting yankee banners, flags, and sticker decals on windows, cars, stores, and other small businesses in the area.
They are real-life super heroes
i was born 4 years later :,-(
we are gonna make it happen
Know every word...
thats the best team i
2:23 Yeah, this was back when you were allowed to smoke in the ballpark.
now that the jays are collapsing it wud b the perfect time to get hallady
0:34 was this the first time anyone used that phrase?
@xhemexx People always say that, but even without Buckner's error the game would have headed to the 11th inning tied and with all the momentum on the Mets side. The game was already tied; it's not like if Buckner makes the play the game is over.
I jocked this song back in 2006 when it was the 20th anniversary of the NY Mets. Too bad they lost to the red birds in the NLCS
LETS GO METS!!!
MOOKIE BEATS IT OUT ANYWAY BABY!!!
@zicon6 1. I KNOW Pagan is an outfielder...I watch the games, thank you
2. Where'd you hear that, just checked the news online, can't find a single thing even saying he's thinking of leaving the Mets, let alone that he's going to the Yanks...source?
LET'S GO METS GO!
2:25-2:29 I choked up a bit...thinking back to Piazza's home run after 9/11...
New York has six professional sports teams, and the mets.
Lets go mets!!!!!!!!!
@Weirsy06 The Mets had alreayd tied the game up on Stanley's wild pitch. And Mookie says that he would have beaten Buckner to the bag even if he'd fielded the ball. Look at the video: he could be right.
@DanKelso agreed. The Wilpons are crippling the team. Hope Mark Cuban is still interested in buying them if Fred decides to sell
@JR08620 Not gonna lie, they're looking pretty decent right now. I live in Philly (sucks I know) and my friend, who is a HUGE Phillies fan flat out said "Shit man, I'm actually scared of the Mets this year". All I can say is, we'll see. Also, how about this Ike Davis character, good or what?!
its like they didnt even care about ball, they were just partying the whole time, LOL
Being from NY and now living in Philly I get so much shit for being a Mets fan. Well screw the phillies fans, LETS GO METS.
No way; we're too banged up to trade, nobody would want to trade with us, because anyone we'd part with is on the disabled list.
Besides, I REALLY like Daniel Murphy at first base. Young, he has a good swing, is already a solid .280+ slap hitter, and is decent defending.
Young, already solid, and with the potential to develop, I like Murphy a lot.
If they keep Ramon Martinez at second and Murphy at 1st-
Wright, Reyes, Martinez, Murphy- all young and talented, improving together.....
That's where our Organization is headed despite the decent start so far...and at a constant losing rate I wouldn't be surprised if that jerk moved em to New Jersey lol.
My middle name is shea because I was born in 87... :)
Let go mets
god i watch this and i keep thinkin about how terrible we are now
Is that Rafael Santana shaving? HAHAHAHA! Lets Go Mets!
This team had heart. The Mets now are a joke except a few players. I got a bad feeling David Wright will be a Yankee when his contract up. They won't spend money He wants a ring.
@mjpt57 agreed. Just call it a national championship. Or North American championship just to aknowledge Canada.
Wilpon's won't ever sell the team. He'd take it to the grave (either grave)
1:13
shades of endy chavez 20 yrs later
Is Jesse Orosco still pitching somewhere?
@terracottapie If you lived in NYC, you would get the joke. It's from Manhattan Mini Storage advertising.
@Weirsy06 I don't think Buckner was beating Mookie to the bag anyway. Not a chance. If it didn't go through his legs, at least he would have saved the run from scoring, but the inning would have continued with first and third and the game tied.
Who are the poeple in the insets near the end? I recognize a couple like Ed Koch but the video is too fuzzy to read the names.
