The Mets organization has announced that as part of the celebration of the teams 50th season, they will be trying to match to win-loss record of the teams inaugural 1962 season.* Unfortunately, they have a little catching up to do. This years team stands at 4-11 whereas the record setting 1962 team was 3-12 after […]
Three more days. The torture. The starting first baseman for the 1986 Mets, position #3 on your scorecard, my favorite all-time baseball player, Keith Hernandez. Not surprisingly, Mex had a lot to do with the Mets winning it all in 1986. Obviously, he had yet another stellar year defensively, winning his 8th consecutive Gold Glove. […]
