Like a Rock

Like a Rock from 1986 Mets: A Year to Remember from The Wright Stache on Vimeo.

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.

Play Ball!

Only acceptable with pants on.

I just watched Johan Santana enter the visitors’ dugout at Great American Ballpark and exchange approximately 15 different elaborate handshakes/hugs/fist pounds with his teammates.  This pleases me on a level that I cannot describe.

My only disappointment?  Johan and Wright only hugged.  No escalating progression of slaps, hugs, hip checks and forearm bashes.  Could it be that Johan doesn’t respect Wright?  Would a mustache help?

Yes.  It would.

Let’s go Mets!
