On YouTube the other day I was served up a replay of the Mets vs. Braves NBC Game of the Week from July 11, 1986. That was the Mets' 82nd game of the year. I checked to see what their record was: 57-25. After 82 games, the 1984 Tigers record was 56-26. As dominant as the ‘84 team was, I’ve finally allowed myself to acknowledge how good that ‘86 Mets team was.
