Mitchell spent 35 days on the active roster that season, but informed me that he wasn’t one of the chosen individuals by Myers. He is best known for giving the Mets 19 important starts the following year in 1987 when the rotation was depleted. “I was not on the postseason roster just like the other players, but I had more days than Dave Magadan that season,” Mitchell said. He was called up after me and he had 28 days. Stanley Jefferson was called up the same time as Mags. Story I got was Myers was the only one complaining about not getting a ring and he told the Mets brass who should get them. Mags, Lyons nor Leach knew what was going on. Myers paid the difference of the cost of the rings from 1986 to 1995. He paid for Mags, Lyons and Leach’s rings. I pitched in 4 games with 10 innings. Myers pitched 10 2/3 inns in 10 appearances. Check the 1987 media guide it will give the facts. If those guys got rings then Stanley and I should have received rings.”
