The Last Reunions of the '86 Mets | New York Mets News

The 1986 Mets, legendary for their swagger and World Series glory, are now aging out of the spotlight—many teammates in their 60s and 70s, some already gone. Darryl Strawberry, battling health scares, says upcoming reunions may be among the last chances for old friends to reconnect. Once a powerhouse with 108 wins, they dominated like never before, unlike the scrappy 1969 team. Their legacy lives on through broadcasting icons like Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling, and surprising second acts like Strawberry as a preacher and Wilson as a chef. Though scattered, they still gather for big anniversaries to laugh, reminisce, and relive glory days. Strawberry even compares their grit to today’s Knicks, calling their unshakable confidence irreplaceable. This weekend at Citi Field is another chance to honor a team that defined a generation.
