*1986 Mets:* _108 wins (Most wins ever by a National League team in the post dead-ball era). Lead the league in runs, run differential, OBP, SLG and ERA. World Series Champions. They had the greatest National League season ever in modern baseball history. Not even the 1975 Big Red Machine (who also had 108 wins) had as dominating a season. And what a cast of CHARACTERS the '86 Mets had too! Truly a team that captures your imagination!_
I went to 72 home games in 1980 and had a season ticket through 1982 (in 21c!), sold it, could have reclaimed it here, didn't. I loved this team but by 1985 they had become the Yankees. I went to a game then they go down 2-0 to the Giants, pop in three in the sixth, win 3-2 with 51,000 in the stands on a warm May Sunday. The 1980 team will always be my favorite.
1986 NY mets..truly a great baseball. Championship team and .86 world series champions....Mets greatest day..oct.27..1986....ray knight.gary carter..mookie Wilson. Strawberry. Gooden,.Keith hernandez .Kevin Mitchell. Bachman.jess orosco. Sid Fernando....all winners..86 ny.mets all hall of famers.
I'm here to remember the good times after these last two blown nlcs home games by the Mets. Seems like we will never get this same passion and grit from another Mets team that just refuses to lose.
I've had two memorable moments of World Series , the 1969 Mets and the 1986 Mets, however for the City of New York of course 1969 was better , because of the Knicks , Mets and Jets all being World Champions that year ...
This was such a special team with so many intense, degen, Type A personalities I don't think it can ever come close to that again. These guys just refused to lose.
I cheered like no other the ups & down the roller coaster those playoffs gave me as a 10 year old I didn’t need that for my heart. The regular season was cake.
I lived and died with the Mets as a kid, and them winning in 86 was and is the highlight of my sports fandom. The franchise started to lose me when they let Ray Knight go and then lost me completely when they brought in Vince Coleman and the like. Although I'm no longer a fan of the franchise, I will forever love that team.
Max scherzer is not even the man he was hired to win a world series I thought the Mets win another one the 86 team is the best because of their gritty play
It still kills me on my birthday October 25th, that I turned game 6 off. My own mother kicked the crap out of me that night even after having an almost fatal motorcycle accident! But I never argued because of the result!
I have never missed Gary Cohen so frick'n much in my life. I couldn't even tell what was worth celebrating because of the monotone announcer. The announcer was like a modern day Joe Buck

My all time favorite Mets team EVER
Most iconic WS team ever

The game 6 of the World Series that year was iconic.

"And Joe, you just lost your house!" Great hearing so many clips of the legendary Vin Scully calling the Series.
Remember this like it was yesterday, the best MET team ever!
Dykstra and gooden and strawberry equals motley crew

Straw had such a beautiful swing.
Daryl Strawberry sure had a pretty swing. It's a shame his career went the way it did. He could have really put up some big numbers.
I was at this game.... what an exciting time...

We need moments like this again😭
This was such a special team with so many intense, degen, Type A personalities I don't think it can ever come close to that again. These guys just refused to lose.
Boy, are you gonna love this year
LIVING IN THE 80 WAS MEMORABLE GROWING UP WAS SIMPLY AWESOME 👏
Best baseball memories to date. These guys were fun to watch.
Life looked better in the 80s. Just born

Game 6 against the Astros is quite simply the greatest baseball game ever played.

This team could be defined by one word…GUTS

Look how free the world was

Now that's how a crowd outta be... miss Shea Stadium....
That 1986 team had fight in them.
They forgot Ray Knights Game 7 home run!
And Keith's bases loaded two run single before that
Nostalgic
amzing mets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^3^
Imagine if todays format existed back then.
I have never missed Gary Cohen so frick'n much in my life. I couldn't even tell what was worth celebrating because of the monotone announcer. The announcer was like a modern day Joe Buck
jay scribbs you’re honestly comparing the great Vin Scully to Gary Cohen? I think Gary Cohen is pure trash and is sickening to listen to.
John Thomas everyone is entitled to an opinion
Good ole lenny dykstra
Bill Buckner is my hero!
Pre bobby bonilla
Wanny Backstra
If only Citi was just as loud
With all it's faults I still miss it
We almost had astros vs red sox 1986 world series.
Astros/Angels WS
Angels blew 3-1 series lead
86 playoffs was bananas
But the Mets were the better team!
2 People first one person 3rd does that make me fourth
cocaine is a helluva drug
Loser.
And they haven't won shit since
Worst call by steve zabriske
If I had to party with a world series team it would be them or the 04 red Sox
Yep!
NAH......1996 YANKEES....OH and UH.....THE 2022 YANKEES
3rd
first
Dodgers
Mets got lucky they almost lost game 6. Astros had them beaten.
But the mets kept winning. Are you missing something!
You know zero about baseball!
