Summary

Part 1 of our 86 Mets tank tales covers everything leading up to the magical season. Frank takes us back to 1973 and tells us how the team stupidly let Tom Seaver go years later. We also get to hear about the draft picks of Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden. Lots of wild stories to come. Remember to help support Tank by rating and leaving a review on iTunes.
