BOBBY VALENTINE
We are upping the game this year folks. We have a third special guest/panelist appearing at QBC ’16. The one the only Bobby V.
Valentine led the Mets to a record of 97–66 and a wild card playoff berth that season. The Mets beat the Arizona Diamondbacks in four games (3–1) en route to the National League Championship Series, where they eventually lost to their division rival the Atlanta Braves in six games (4–2).
In early 2000, Valentine was at the center of what would be called “The Whartongate Affair,” in which he allegedly mentioned to students at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business somewhat cynical, insider comments regarding a handful of Mets players and the organization as a whole.[9]
The Mets returned the following season, finishing the year with a 94–68 record and another wild card playoff berth. This time, the Mets would not be denied the pennant, winning the 2000 National League Championship Series by defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in five games (4–1). The Mets ended up playing The Yankees in the 2000 world series.
Tickets to go on sale after 9 am.
