barkleyIn my 80 year old grandmother’s tiny one bedroom apartment, cheering my ass off while was was begging me to contain myself because of the neighbors.
Yes, I finally finished the last episode of Once Upon a Time in Queens, the 30 for 30 about the 1986 Mets. You know what my favorite part of that was? You just knew starting off that it was a series of fans recalling “Where were you during game 6” and not the series winning game 7.
I loved watching this and remembering how joyously exciting that 1986 season was. Even for a 15 year old in Philadelphia who had temporarily switched allegiances for Lenny Dykstra.
I am also so glad I am watching this far removed from that 15 year old girl who would have been so disappointed to ever meet her heroes. OMFG. I mean, Lenny certainly had a lot of energy back then. The whole team did. NOW I KNOW WHY. S-U-R-R-E-A-L.
