Earlier this week, ESPN aired the (much-publicized) latest entry in their acclaimed 30 for 30 series, Once Upon a Time in Queens. Last year the network had a smash hit with The Last Dance, a documentary series focused on the career of Michael Jordan and his final season in Chicago. Following the success of that, they quickly announced this four part series, directed by Nick Davis, to air in time to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the last New York Mets team to win a World Series.
Once Upon a Time in Queens focuses on the New York Mets from the late 1970s through the late 1980s, with special emphasis being given to the1986 Mets who won a World Series.
