Kevin Mitchell was my dude on the 86 Mets..
Don't fukk with him..

Yes. Were they the best team that won a WS? No. But they were the most human squad since those Brooklyn Dodgers teams old heads reminisce about.
They were the every man squad.
Get the fukk out of here. The Dodgers beating The Yankees in '55 is more cherished and beloved in this city than any Mets championship.
And the only thing The Jets are running are the back pages of the newspapers because of the fukkery. Even though there's a large contingent of Jets/Mets/Islanders fans, The Rangers/Yanks/Giants/Knicks run NY sports.
I wouldn't say they were the every man squad because Doc, Straw, Keith, and Gary Carter were legit superstars at the time. I think they were so beloved because no other team embodied the arrogance of what being a NY'er used to mean.
