I can remember reading somewhere about that that 1986 New York Mets team should have won one or even two more World Series titles but ones Strawberry and Dwight Gooden basically pissed all of that away with their booze and drugs.

See my post at 13. Very true, except it wasn’t only them. Dykstra, Hernandez, Jefferies, were all a mess. (among others I can’t remember)

The 1986 New York Mets won one World Series title. I don't think any team has ever won more in a single year.

Of course Boston would have won the series except for a famous missed ground ball.

Strawberry and Gooden should have been HOFers but they pissed their careers away with booze and drugs.
