1986 Mets: A Year to Remember
The exclusive, official New York Mets video highlights of an incredible season
Once Upon a Time in Queens
The story of the 1986 Mets, one of the most dominating, infamous, and magical teams of all time. The series traces the team's origins back to the late 1970s. The story of their triumph may have been magical, but the tale of their fall was inevitable.
Doc & Darryl
When they were good, they were the biggest stars on a team that captured New York City and the 1986 World Series. But when they were bad, Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry broke the hearts of Mets fans. "They were going to be our guys for years," laments Jon Stewart in this evocative yet searing 30 for 30 documentary directed by Judd Apatow ("Trainwreck") and Michael Bonfiglio ("You Don't Know Bo"). Reunited at a diner in Queens, the pitcher and the power hitter look back on the glory days of the mid-'80s and the harrowing nights that turned them from surefire Hall of Famers into prisoners of their own addictions. Listening to Doc talk about missing the parade down the Canyon of Heroes, or Darryl counsel others at his ministry, you can only wish that these two very different men had not followed the same destructive path.
