Story summary

On the 40th anniversary of the New York Mets' last World Series victory on October 27, 1986, Darryl Strawberry expressed his disinterest in watching the current Fall Classic games. Strawberry, a former Mets star who also played for the Yankees and won three rings later in his career, emphasized that he only watches New York baseball teams. The 1986 victory was significant as it marked the franchise's second World Series title after they defeated the Houston Astros in an intense NLCS and won 108 regular-season games. Strawberry recalled the historic moment when Jesse Orosco threw his glove into the air to celebrate the Mets' 8-5 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 7 of that series. Despite the team's current struggles, Strawberry remains optimistic about the Mets' future.
