METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 20, 1986 GAME:

Hot Foot
May 15, 2023
This game is on YouTube, and curiously it's the WGN broadcast with Harry Caray and Steve Stone on the call, but they are using the WOR feed.

Still, it's a wonderful sight to see a 1986 Mets home game, especially one that I remember watching at home when I was 8. There is one play that is burned into my brain, with the call by Ralph Kiner.

In the top of the first, Ryne Sandberg hit a looping fly ball to center, and Mookie ran in and just barely made the catch, whereupon Ralph said, "Mookie Wilson, with a snowcone catch!" I always remembered that "snowcone catch", so when this game popped up on YouTube I was excited to see it again.

By the way, of course Harry Caray's reaction was "Holy Cow!", and he called it a 'shoestring catch'.

It's funny how that's the only play from this game that I remember, and how it's stuck with me all these years.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
