Read: The Mets are Memorable
In a photo series at SI.com, the 1986 Mets are listed among the 16 most 
‘Unsportsmanlike’ teams of all time, a list which also includes other New York notables such as the 1994 Knicks and the Bronx Zoo.
According to the SI write up…
“[The 1986 Mets] boozed, brawled and pranced their way to the World Series championship. No curtain call was too superfluous to pass up, and no slight was too small to get worked up over. As Jeff Pearlman noted in his book, The Bad Guys Won, the Mets were so rowdy they trashed the team plane on the way back from winning the NLCS in Houston. In fact, he reports that one of the reasons the team was dismantled over the next several years was to get rid of the bad apples - of which there were many.”
Meanwhile, in the Contra Costa Times, the 1973 Mets are listed among the hottest teams to ever enter a World Series, having won 29 of their final 42 games.
