You Belong to the City

You Belong to the City from 1986 Mets: A Year to Remember from The Wright Stache on Vimeo.

Nothing helps you get through the homestretch of a Friday afternoon like a bonus edition of 1986 Mets: A Year to Remember theater!  You’ve gotten dirty with the Wild Boys, given your teammates the hot foot and witnessed a rock solid man-on-man relationship.  And now comes a video that celebrates the entire 1986 Mets team.

Watch as the Mets become the toast of New York.  Gasp as you see how many magazine covers they graced (who decided to include WWOR broadcaster Tim McCarver twice in the montage?).  Giggle when you catch Ray Knight subtly give a TV camera the finger.  The Mets belonged to the city.  And this sax riff belongs to the ages.

It’s almost time to slide down the dinosaur’s neck and call it a weekend.  Hang in there, baby!

Like a Rock

Welcome to another episode of 1986 Mets: A Year to Remember theater.  If you’re just joining us, we’ve rocked out with Wild Boys Lenny Dykstra and Wally Backman and learned to give a hot foot with Roger McDowell and HoJo.  In today’s episode, we celebrate the machismo, determination and bromance of Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter.

Like a rock, Keith and Gary were the stable leaders the Mets needed.  And like a rock, their man-love could not be broken.

With a special appearance by Davey Johnson’s mustache!

Happy Friday, kids.  Let’s make it a stachetastic end to the week.
