Episode 376 - The Mets Get Caught At Cooter's (with special guest David Roth)
Manage episode 496383704 series 1458124
The 1986 Mets are one of the truly iconic teams in baseball history, with a roster full of unbelievable talent, unbridled machismo, and borderline criminal tendencies. And 39 years ago, several of the mildest mannered of those Mets were arrested in a Houston bar called Cooter's Executive Games and Burgers after a night of debauchery. With certified Mets sicko and Defector Editor David Roth (@davidjroth.bsky.social), who wrote about the incident this week, Mike and Bill look back at the incident, which is hilarious in retrospect, and the Mets as a whole, while trying to figure out exactly what an executive burger would be.
Plus, happy birthday to George Gibson and Mickey Stanley!
And farewell to Horace Speed and Scott Klingenbeck.
