I fell in love with baseball in the mid-80s, when I was around 10-years-old. My entire family and majority of my friends were fans of the stodgy, traditional, old hat Yankees.

This weekend at Citi Field, the Mets will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1986 World Series championship with a series of giveaways and a special on-field pre-game ceremony on Saturday.
"It's going to be great," Jesse Orosco recently told MLB.
