*1986 Mets:* _108 wins (Most wins ever by a National League team in the post dead-ball era). Lead the league in runs, run differential, OBP, SLG and ERA. World Series Champions. They had the greatest National League season ever in modern baseball history. Not even the 1975 Big Red Machine (who also had 108 wins) had as dominating a season. And what a cast of CHARACTERS the '86 Mets had too! Truly a team that captures your imagination!_

[@ianchao7452]

LGM!!!

[@evanarey8374]

Most iconic WS team ever

[@manhbx96]

My all time favorite Mets team EVER

[@edwardjohn1116]

I've had two memorable moments of World Series , the 1969 Mets and the 1986 Mets, however for the City of New York of course 1969 was better , because of the Knicks , Mets and Jets all being World Champions that year ...

[@randyjones7818]

1986 NY mets..truly a great baseball. Championship team and .86 world series champions....Mets greatest day..oct.27..1986....ray knight.gary carter..mookie Wilson. Strawberry. Gooden,.Keith hernandez .Kevin Mitchell. Bachman.jess orosco. Sid Fernando....all winners..86 ny.mets all hall of famers.

[@raygordonteacheschess5501]

I went to 72 home games in 1980 and had a season ticket through 1982 (in 21c!), sold it, could have reclaimed it here, didn't. I loved this team but by 1985 they had become the Yankees. I went to a game then they go down 2-0 to the Giants, pop in three in the sixth, win 3-2 with 51,000 in the stands on a warm May Sunday. The 1980 team will always be my favorite.

[@holtridge7337]

Daryl Strawberry sure had a pretty swing. It's a shame his career went the way it did. He could have really put up some big numbers.

[@Tungoon]

Always tear up when I watch this ! Wish it could have lasted forever me and my dad jumping for joy in the living room ! Thanks 86 Mets

[@holydiver1375]

God bless you and your pops! Hope you’re keeping up with this postseason!

[@packersauburneric3625]

Nostalgic

[@jonbase6004]

Remember this like it was yesterday, the best MET team ever!

[@ericsigersmith2831]

Dykstra and gooden and strawberry equals motley crew

[@SS-or7mz]

I'm here to remember the good times after these last two blown nlcs home games by the Mets. Seems like we will never get this same passion and grit from another Mets team that just refuses to lose.

[@packersauburneric3625]

Nostalgic

[@camizalegend]

The game 6 of the World Series that year was iconic.

[@pixsnapper1]

"And Joe, you just lost your house!" Great hearing so many clips of the legendary Vin Scully calling the Series.

[@briancullen9575]

Straw had such a beautiful swing.

[@ogrebattle22763]

I was at this game.... what an exciting time...

[@binyomin3567]

Life looked better in the 80s. Just born

[@mr.salvatorejpluchino8467]

LIVING IN THE 80 WAS MEMORABLE GROWING UP WAS SIMPLY AWESOME 👏

[@bryanroldan5129]

We need moments like this again😭

[@RFKFREAK]

This was such a special team with so many intense, degen, Type A personalities I don't think it can ever come close to that again. These guys just refused to lose.

[@mark_zuckerballs]

Boy, are you gonna love this year

[@Kgio-2112]

Put this team on now... At this age. ASAP

[@benjamincaldas1953]

Best baseball memories to date. These guys were fun to watch.

[@mrfk9d]

Posting this is such a treat for baseball fans. Thanks !

[@buixrule]

This is without a doubt in the top 5 world series wins of my 6 plus decades. This team could not be denied.

[@MC-qv8oz]

History will repeat! LGM!

[@eric3298]

Nostalgic

[@davidellis5141]

Behind The Bag ! ! It Gets By Buckner !! Here Comes Knight & The Mets Win It !

[@ericsigersmith2831]

John daily would love this team

[@Gorilla_Jones]

Game 6 against the Astros is quite simply the greatest baseball game ever played.

[@noahhanselman7713]

i’m a Mets fan

[@ThePhenomm]

I cheered like no other the ups & down the roller coaster those playoffs gave me as a 10 year old I didn’t need that for my heart. The regular season was cake.

[@jeffteyrosado9966]

Max scherzer is not even the man he was hired to win a world series I thought the Mets win another one the 86 team is the best because of their gritty play

[@FMD321]

Thank G-d I was alive to see this in real time

[@Gorilla_Jones]

This team could be defined by one word…GUTS

[@sherlocksharp7736]

I lived and died with the Mets as a kid, and them winning in 86 was and is the highlight of my sports fandom. The franchise started to lose me when they let Ray Knight go and then lost me completely when they brought in Vince Coleman and the like. Although I'm no longer a fan of the franchise, I will forever love that team.

[@mrdisco]

Love it. Thanks so much for posting this.

[@DJ_Magnanimous]

As an amazing Met's fan, what's not to like?

[@evelynsmith8419]

A wonderful memory

[@sheafan1971]

Love the memories

[@erocs9747]

As a red sox fan it hurts but they were lucky to be there besting the angels

[@thebunkertv8847]

If it’s the only championship I get in my lifetime at least it was epic 🔥🔥🔥 LETS GO METS .

[@franciscovillarreal8202]

I Remember this Game👍i ❤Ny Mets❤❤

[@Surfer041]

Look how free the world was

[@vinceedwards3978]

It still kills me on my birthday October 25th, that I turned game 6 off. My own mother kicked the crap out of me that night even after having an almost fatal motorcycle accident! But I never argued because of the result!

[@barcelonaguayaquil9213]

Now that's how a crowd outta be... miss Shea Stadium....

[@hereef1]

That 1986 team had fight in them.

[@Nerpy-D-Derp]

I have never missed Gary Cohen so frick'n much in my life. I couldn't even tell what was worth celebrating because of the monotone announcer. The announcer was like a modern day Joe Buck

[@johnthomas6361]

jay scribbs you’re honestly comparing the great Vin Scully to Gary Cohen? I think Gary Cohen is pure trash and is sickening to listen to.

[@Nerpy-D-Derp]

John Thomas everyone is entitled to an opinion

[@ericsigersmith6067]

Good ole lenny dykstra

[@joeyphenomenal]

They forgot Ray Knights Game 7 home run!

[@jimwerther]

And Keith's bases loaded two run single before that

[@packersauburneric3625]

Nostalgic

[@노승환-s4f]

amzing mets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^3^

[@OBESPRING1982]

Wanny Backstra

[@Jammin247]

Bill Buckner is my hero!

[@islandblader]

[@shmuelosina9099]

[@ebscoHOSTpub]

[@davidfeltz8697]

[@hectorlopez1069]

[@tycelano799]

Astros/Angels WS Angels blew 3-1 series lead 86 playoffs was bananas

[@davidfeltz8697]

But the Mets were the better team!

[@jordankooper9632]

[@robertegielski8572]

Worst call by steve zabriske

[@oogieboogie4702]

[@ericsigersmith6067]

If I had to party with a world series team it would be them or the 04 red Sox

[@davidfeltz8697]

Yep!

[@Frannylucks5821]

NAH......1996 YANKEES....OH and UH.....THE 2022 YANKEES

[@josecarranza7555]

Dodgers

[@hectorlopez1069]

Mets got lucky they almost lost game 6. Astros had them beaten.

[@davidfeltz8697]

But the mets kept winning. Are you missing something!

[@davidfeltz8697]

You know zero about baseball!
