Oh, to be a Mets fan in that era. Nothing like it since. It ruined baseball for me. That team, from 84-87, was something else. They beat on everyone, in the box score and on the field. Other teams hated them, and other teams hated playing at Shea. All games, from opening day to the very last game, were pure electric. You had to be there to understand. The NL playoffs against Houston, and the WS against Boston in 86 was insane. So was the AL playoffs between the Angels and Red Sox. A great post season for baseball. Each league had only two teams in the post season. I had tickets to 3 games in the playoffs and 3 for the World Series. I first became a fan in 1969, the magical Mets team. Every team after lived in their shadow until 1986. Now the current Mets team, and all teams since, can’t get out of the 86 team’s shadow.

I guess no hof but everyone knows if straw didn't get off track w/ issues easily a hof player. Best young talent the likes of which won't be seen again.
