Each week, we’ll commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1986 New York Mets championship run. We’ll focus on the memorable games, players, stories and stats and the journey of dominance taken by one of New York’s greatest baseball teams. We’ll be aided by media accounts from the New York papers as well as interviews past and present. The Mets couldn’t win ‘em all this week -- they went 3-3. But they did have one in a series of incredibly unlikely wins that would become their trademark.
