2/5 🧵 The core of it is their bond. They clicked instantly as Mets teammates in the late ’70s, and both frame it as one of those immediate locker-room connections that just made sense. Valentine jokes that Mazzilli was already “that dude” while he was barely hanging on after a broken leg, but the respect is obvious. It reads less like nostalgia theater and more like two guys who actually lived through some shit together.
