Under George ‘Sparky’ Anderson....

Of course it didn’t hurt to have Lance Parrish, Alan Trammel, Lou Whitaker, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris... and Willie Hernandez!

Game 7 against the Dodgers was a disaster- swing at the first pitch EVERY time....i was getting furious...they never took a first pitch.

I remember the Dodgers scoring three or four runs in one inning of that game… Without hitting the ball out of the infield!

Davey Johnson managed according to strange baseball superstitions. He was lucky to have a bunch of players who could win on their own.

Maybe. But they won nonetheless.

As a long-suffering Red Sox fan, my favorite bumper sticker of all time (pre-2004):

“The Red Sox killed my father, and now they’re coming after me!”

Classic…..

I agree with you on that one. The 86 Mets were a bunch of thugs to boot. Dykstra Goode. Strawberry.
