New York Mets and the 1986 World Series [EPUB ebook] 

Few teams are as canonized in New York sports culture as the 1986 New York Mets, who won the World Series over the Boston Red Sox in a most dramatic fashion after what many say was a destined season. The team, which featured Mets greats such as Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Keith Hernandez and Lenny Dykstra, finished the regular season with a franchise record of 108-54. This e-single picks up at the end of the regular season and follows the team through the NCLS against the Houston Astros and on into the World Series and a title they have yet to repeat.
