The 86 Mets played some wild games but one in Cincinnati takes the cake. Dave Parker drops an easy fly ball, allowing the tying runs to score and taking the game to extras. THEN the Mets and Reds get into an insane on-field brawl with Ray Knight landing such an impressive punch on Eric Davis that Mike Tyson was impressed. THEN with a glut of ejections, the Mets run out of players and resort to having Jesse Orosco and Roger McDowell trade places from pitching to the outfield. Hear all about this nutty game and everything else happening in late July of 1986 on our newest episode!
