NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Mets are somehow back in the postseason race after winning 15 of their last 16 games, and one of the key reasons is a senior member of the coaching staff who has really been pitching in.
Phil Regan has been around a long time and has seen a lot of baseball, CBS2’s Steve Overmyer reports. He is 82 years old.
“We have an 82-year-old pitching coach who’s probably older than the ’69 Mets that were here for the reunion. It’s wonderful. You talk about Lazarus being raised from the crypt,” Mets fan Kiran O’Doherty said.
