Classic NY Mets pictures

Dykstra? The short guy next to Mitchell?

He looks 90, but Heavens to Betsy, I think you're right!

I usually credit Teufel with being the holding-up-the-best 86er, but I think I need to switch my vote to Orosco.

Yeah I think it’s him

I was at that home opener. I think I must've cut class, and I seem to remember running into several of my classmates at the game. A 10-0 loss (opening day starter Tidrow also got shelled out of the pen), with Bryn Smith going the distance for the Expos. I guess the game was a big factor in the the Mets being able to win 90 games with a negative run differential. Rusty Staub managed a pinch-hit, and I think Bobby Valentine got tossed for overzealous coaching at third.

I always thought Sid was the handsomest Met, and I still do

Is Jerry wearing his regular street shoes ?

Buses leave Shea with wives ??

Maybe this is after Game 7, and that’s for going to the parade?

I don't think the Mets wore their unis for the parade. Wives traveled with the team during the post-season.

No. they didn't wear their uniforms for the parade. My thought was that this was taken during the post game of game 7 (which would explain Mookie wearing his uniform while holding a bottle of bubbly)
