Mookie Wilson excited for upcoming '86 weekend

NEW YORK -- New York Mets icon Mookie Wilson is excited about the 1986 reunion that will take place May 27-29 at Citi Field, during a series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“I’m looking forward to having the guys together in a setting that’s around the ball field,” Wilson said. “We’ve gotten together before with reunions and at card shows, but never around the atmosphere of baseball.”

Virtually the entire '86 title team is committed to returning for the weekend, including manager Davey Johnson, Dwight Gooden, Darryl Strawberry, Howard Johnson and Sid Fernandez, plus those still regularly around the team like Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling.
