Episode 376 - The Mets Get Caught At Cooter's (with special guest David Roth)

from This Week In Baseball History · host Mike Bates and Bill Parker

The 1986 Mets are one of the truly iconic teams in baseball history, with a roster full of unbelievable talent, unbridled machismo, and borderline criminal tendencies. And 39 years ago, several of the mildest mannered of those Mets were arrested in a Houston bar called Cooter's Executive Games and Burgers after a night of debauchery. With certified Mets sicko and Defector Editor David Roth (@davidjroth.bsky.social), who wrote about the incident this week, Mike and Bill look back at the incident, which is hilarious in retrospect, and the Mets as a whole, while trying to figure out exactly what an executive burger would be. Plus, happy birthday to George Gibson and Mickey Stanley! And farewell to Horace Speed and Scott Klingenbeck.
