Despite advancing to the World Series in October, the Mets last won a championship in 1986. For some fans, the vigor surrounding that team still has not worn off.
Bonnie Margulies and her husband, Alan, have loyally waited for the franchise to return to its 1980s glory days.
“It’s easy to be a fan of a team that wins all the time,” said Bonnie, a native of Little Neck, Queens.
The Margulieses have been fans of the Mets since the early 1960s, attending as many as 75 home games every year since becoming full season-ticket holders in 2006.
