The author reflects nostalgically on the 1986 Mets season, which stands out as their favorite despite the passage of years. They describe the anticipation and excitement surrounding game days, highlighting how the wait for each game dominated their daily life. The season is remembered not only for its results but also for the emotional highs it provided. This reflection illustrates the deep connection fans form with their teams, particularly when a season achieves extraordinary success that is hard to replicate in subsequent years.
When it was coming along, we had dreamed only of the season it would give us when it was giving it to us. Boy, did it deliver.
It occurs to me I didn't have a lot else going on in my life that didn't involve counting down to tonight's game.
If every season could be 1986, I wouldn't argue with the outcome.
Don't go away so quickly, season that had no Met precedent and has produced no worthy Met successor!
