00:00Wait, will Bowdoin text you yet today?
00:02Not today, not yet.
00:04He's been checking in a lot, right? I heard you saying that.
00:07He's the best. He's so invested in this.
00:10There's a lineage to this franchise that's refreshing because
00:14sadly we've lost a lot of guys now from the 69 team.
00:18But the surviving members of that club
00:22and even those who have passed on
00:25who lived for quite a while after 1969
00:28they were delighted when the team won in 86.
00:31And the 86 group, they want...
00:33Ask Ronnie and Keith how badly they'd like to see this Mets team win.
00:36Because, you know, they're the ones that are always looked at
00:39as sort of that last championship team
00:42and it's always 86, 86, 86.
00:44Well, even for me, you know, as a guy who
00:47you know, is on the air every day and reflects back on those years
00:50I want, you know, I'm...
00:52Never mind, I'm being 70, but
00:55anybody who's realistically
00:58under the age of 40 has no recollection
01:01of the Mets having won in 1986.
01:04I want this youngest generation of Mets fans
01:08to have a championship team all their own.
01:10That's a great way to put it.
01:11It's time, man. It's time.
01:13So, you know, whether it's Ron Swoboda
01:16or Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling or anybody else
01:19who's a link in that chain to today
01:22they're all on the same page.
01:23Great way to put it. I never thought of it like that.
