Youtube is awesome today!
Kids, you’ve heard the tale of the rough and tumble gritty 1986 New York Mets and manly men like Ray Knight.
One night there was this fight and before the night was over Gary Carter was at third, and Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco were taking turns in the outfield and the mound.
Whatever was in the air that night, almost every Mets fan I know was watching TV that night…and today Youtube provides us with video of the fight. Awesome.
Crazy seeing Franco in there in a Reds uniform.
Wright would’ve apolgized for getting in the way of Davis’ elbow.
Man those 86 Mets had balls; I miss Kevin Mitchell and still think he got a raw deal.
This fight was awesome. I was on vacation in North Carolina and heard both the Mets and Reds radio calls [flipping between both] and all announcers were going nutso.
Man that was great … Thanks
i remember the greatest mets fight ever. 1968 mets- astros. doug rader elbows the mets kevin collins running to first. collins is out cold. after being taken off the field,every one stood around,them bam,sock, biff it was on!players from both sides going at it!!
i remember a picture in the dailynews the next day of boy hood pals jones and agee,side by side throwing death blows!
it got out of hand so badly the houston police with they’re silver batons had to come out and brake it up!!
in the immortal words of bob murphy “we got a real pier 6 brawl going on here !”
