Grantland 30 For 30 short is tremendously satisfying. See what Ronn Reynolds looks like in the 21st century! Only nitpick: strange decision to use footage from '73 WS (Millan error, Willie pleading on Buddy's behalf) to represent the Mets going downhill in the '70s. Huh?

Are they suggesting that losing that World Series was the beginning of the end? I think that more appropriate footage to show would be Joan Payson's funeral.

I think they just went with whatever fit the moment in the film. They also used Doc from somewhere between 1988 and 1992 when they talked about him as a rookie. The only people who'd notice this stuff are, as usual, the people who appreciate this kind of film the most in the first place.
