Doug Sisk explains absence from '86 weekend

NEW YORK -- Nearly every living member of the 1986 New York Mets will be at Citi Field this weekend as the organization recognizes the 30th anniversary of its last championship.

One exception: Doug Sisk, who went 4-2 with a 3.06 ERA in 41 relief appearances that season.

Sisk insisted that a work conflict, not any estrangement from the Mets, is the primary reason for his absence. He currently lives in Tacoma, Washington, and sells fine wine.

The only other living players from the team not expected to attend are Roger McDowell and Kevin Elster.
