The Mets were a very good team in the 80s. They had amazing players.

You're killing me, man! These videos of Gooden and the 1980s Mets are blowing my mind. Thanks so much!

This is so old--Nissans were still named Datsuns. I was a freshman in college!

I was in 10th grade I remember being at this game to watch the Astros with my grandpa, great game and just so happened to be Dwight Gooden's , what a great memory

Remember watching this whole 3-game series on my old childhood B&W 13" TV (I was 10). The next night, Mike Torrez inadvertently beaned Dickie Thon, from which it took Thon years to recover.

Thank you for uploading!

was lucky enough to be a kid during these years i remember being ten years old watching this with my dad.. i was lucky to see d.oc pitch in person in 1985 against reds on pete roses birthday . hard to believe with stuff doc had between 84-88 that he didnt pitch a no hitter for mets he came close in 1984 against cubs but ray knight couldnt make the play on an infield grounder that he should of

I remember my cousin Rudy and I watching this game in South Ozone Park Queens.

Dwight Gooden's major league debut

Exxon still had their original post-Esso logo

I have nothing against Rafael Santana, but I wish the Mets had kept Jose Oquendo. Great fielder who learned to play other positions, too with St. Louis.

23:38 umm…..yeah…..

i was there when they won then we went to the ticket tape parade in down town manhattan new york it was awesome

check that--I was still in high school lol

The most dominant pitcher we’ve ever seen in our lifetime.

Joe West...SMH.

@ 3:02 the first Ralph-ism! Shame what happened to Thon the next night. Big difference in the graphic font look from what was used for home game broadcasts that year. Ralph with the nautical weather terms. By '84, 'Fat' Jack Fisher really lived up to that moniker. In '84 MLB tried to have non-dome northern teams open on the road in domes or less volatile weather areas to reduce the threat of cold/snow etc. before 4/10 with a few exceptions. It made sense, but with the Yanks rough start Steinbrenner made so much noise condemning it the scheduling pattern was abandoned in '85. Ralph could give Yogi a run for his money when it came to faux pa's malapropisms etc.. @ 1:27:07 McCarver makes a good point about catching technique. Jones lasted till the end of July. Country Joe doesn't look overstuffed in the homeplate equipment as he does now.

would of loved be fly on wall in astros dugout hearing what they were saying about this kid on the mound

1:13

5:02..In about 24 hours, Dickie Thon will be lying in a hospital bed

Ahhhh when baseball was believable and watchable
