a very special time - Doc pitching, Darry hitting, Lawrence Taylor on defense, Mike Tyson in the ring - all must see TV

I was 12.. I remember the days in Grant's Tomb rooting for Mazzilli, Stearns, Zachry and Swan and a bunch of AAA players.. 1984 was a very special year for Met fans of our generation.. second only to 1986. It was the year we weren't a joke anymore.

@@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace Haha yeah I remember them all! We'll always have 86! With the new owner maybe more magic to come!

Amen!❤ Love ya Dr. K!!

No, he’s a great distance behind Seaver

@@willard2729 your probably correct! Seaver is / was my hands down favorite!

My all time favorite Tom Seaver 💙!

@@willard2729 no "great" distance. he's 2nd in wins behind seaver... that alone..

@@MB-gd6be get off the internet

Maybe next season.

@@MB-gd6be It has been in limbo ever since Gary Carter died.

It is today. #16

For a second that’s who I thought it was😬

Same feeling I had. Wow. If a film for Snoop was made, he'd be perfect for the role. Younger version, of course.

Kranepool too

They can't get too carried away. Othwise they'll retire too many numbers.

They don't want to be like the Yankees and retired everyone number. I'm surprised #5 and number 8 aren't retired yet

@@brutal666 Kranepool was an average player who didn't put up HOF numbers. He still holds the club record for most games played, but that IMHO doesn't merit having one's number retired.

I'd be cool with that. Grote was an outstanding defensive catcher and started the 1968 All-Star game. Buddy started at short in 1970 and 1971.

😂😂😂😂 no. Do your homework.

Go to bed Donald.

It's a cult at this point, but it also serves a purpose: it let's me know who the fucking liberal clowns are before I start talking to them.

Sod off. Madone, triggered much?

Nope, they never worked. If anything, crime probably doubled because of the mask.

it was never about if they worked or not - it was about how much BS we'd put up with

How many mea culpas do you want from another man?? I'm certain he has suffered and beat himself up about it more than anyone. He had what many baseball historians and statisticians consider one of the greatest seasons of all-time in '85. He was also the star pitcher on one of the greatest teams of all-time. Yes, he flamed out early and never fully lived up to his potential. But jeez, a little perspective...the guy never killed anyone. If you were around for '86, then you should appreciate everyone on that team for what they gave us fans. The way things look, we may never see another championship again!

@@boxingandbulldogs6341 I want zero mea culpas. I simply made the point that my visceral reaction to gooden is to remember the bad first. I’m old enough to remember 1969 and 1973, so swallowing strawberry, cone, gooden - who all embarrassed and disrespected met fans - isn’t easy.

​@@willard2729 I'm glad we had at least one great baseball owner in NY who gave people second, third and forth chances so players like Strawberry, Cone and Gooden could get rings (plural) bringing championships to the city. embarrassed and disrespected??? you guys should be embarrassed and disrespected by your previous ownership who loved money and the Dodgers more than the Mets and that it took a Steve Cohen to finally get you where you're FINALLY starting to spend money to try to build a winner - not just giving it to Bernie Madoff, and recognizing Mets history - not just the "inherited history" of the Brooklyn Dodgers & New York Giants - embarrassing is that Willie Mays, Casey Stengel & Gil Hodges numbers are retired but not Gary Carter's
