Part 2/8:
To understand the dysfunction of the 1992 Mets, we must first revisit the team’s success. The Mets captured the heart of New York City in the 1980s, culminating in their victory in the 1986 World Series. With one of the greatest rosters in baseball history, including the likes of Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden, they not only claimed their second championship but also earned a reputation as "the Amazing Mets."
However, the resilience of this dynasty was fleeting. By 1990, the sparkling sheen of the championship team had dulled, as management decisions led to the exit of key players and a decline in on-field performance.
