Monty's Outside Toss

Decided to make this about my fandom


My first sports detailed memory was in 1986. It did not involve football or hockey, it was baseball. It was the '86 World Series, Mets vs Red Sox


My parents let me stay up late on school nights to watch the World Series. I got to see my then favorite team (The Mets) play. It was the last games for my dad's favorite player, Tom Seaver.


I saw Mookie Wilson & Bill Buckner, Clemens & Gooden.


It was the first time I got to stay up late on my own. That series led me to really enjoying the World Series. There was only one other World Series that captured my imagination, but that is a story for another day.
