4/5 🧵 There’s also a great window into old Mets chaos. They laugh about Joe Torre’s strange stint as player-manager in 1977, including a moment where the team apparently took the field with only eight players and Valentine had to sprint off to find Ed Kranepool. That’s the kind of story fans love because it reminds you these teams weren’t always clean, mythic machines — sometimes they were glorified improv with uniforms.
