The 1986 New York Mets were the greatest team in franchise history. Unlike their previous championship team of 1969, the Mets of 1986 had the best record in baseball 108-54. After the Mets dispatched the Houston Astros in six games, they defeated the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, coming back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits, including the memorable Game 6 comeback, scoring three runs with two outs and nobody on base to force the deciding Game 7. One of the key players on that squad was Wally Backman, a solid second baseman who platooned with Tim Teufel. Backman batted .320 and scored 67 runs and a table-setter for the powerful Mets’ lineup that featured Daryl Strawberry and Keith Hernandez.
