Asking the question: What if the 1988 Mets had stuck the landing? An exploration of key figures from the mid-to-late ’80s Mets on the field, in the dugout and in the front office.
I mean the '88 World Series ended up giving us one of the most memorable postseason moments ever, but an A's/Mets World Series would have been a battle of juggernauts.
Good stuff Matt! The ‘88 Dodgers are sooo fluky, and Hershiser frankly deserves HOF consideration as well, I always considered him and Cone to be quite similar. Cone dominated more but Orel was a horse, huge IP totals.

The stars felt larger than life. Canseco and McGwire on the Athletics. Strawberry and Gooden for the Mets.
Or at least that's how it felt to a 10-year-old.
