Each week, we’ll commemorate the 30th anniversary of the 1986 New York Mets championship run. We’ll focus on the memorable games, players, stories and stats and the journey of dominance taken by one of New York’s greatest baseball teams. We’ll be aided by media accounts from the New York papers (especially the Daily News, which published every article after the season in a book titled “Yes!”), as well as interviews past and present.

The Mets began a 10-game road trip with four games in Houston against an Astros team eager to exact revenge for losing three of four in New York before the break.
