Remembering The '86 New York Mets with Roger McDowell and Doug Feldmann
Former MLB reliever Roger McDowell and his memoir co-author Doug Feldmann remember Roger's 1986 World Series Champion New York Mets.
McDowell shares where he was during the team’s dramatic World Series Game 6 comeback, how badly they wanted to beat the Houston Astros in the National League Championship Series, and the selfless culture that defined the clubhouse under manager Davey Johnson. He also remembers bizarre moments like alternating between pitching and playing the outfield in one game with fellow reliever Jesse Orosco, hijinks that included their rookie tradition of painting a certain part of a horse statue, who Roger's favourite "Hot Foot" victim was, setting a teammate's bat on fire with rubbing alcohol, fake sneezing on front row Chicago Cub fans at Wrigley Field and more.
