What Ray Knight believes made 1986 Mets particular — and why he cannot watch now
Ray Knight is like loads of Mets followers — he’s stopped watching the video games.
“I began early this 12 months following them and was desiring to observe them, after which they had been enjoying so badly that I simply stop watching it,” the previous Mets third baseman informed Sports activities+ this week. “I used to be feeling badly for them, and it wasn’t making me actual glad watching them play so poorly.”
These last-place Mets are a distinction to Knight’s tenure in Queens, which culminated with the staff profitable the World Collection in 1986. The fortieth anniversary of that championship (the final in franchise historical past) shall be celebrated throughout a pregame ceremony on Saturday at Citi Discipline.
Knight, 73, plans to take part. It’s then he’ll get to relive his biggest profession moments — he scored the profitable run in an epic Sport 6 of the World Collection in opposition to the Crimson Sox and hit a go-ahead homer in Sport 7. Knight was named the World Collection MVP.
