His playing career was so-so, and before the Yanks, he managed the Dodgers for 8 years, and in an 8-team league, never finished higher than 5th. After the Yanks, he managed the Mets to four straight last-place finishes. A chimp could have probably won with some of those Yank teams Casey had. And if we had a serious manager and not a clown in the early years, maybe we would not have been such a joke for years. Casey is possibly the single most undeserving member of the HOF.

Also, it was way more pure in '86, and less prone to inducing hangovers. Let us also not forget that blow is considered a performance-enhancing drug.

I guess you have no respect for the most improtant manager for a new team that for many years had no talent . But more then any one he himself kept the spirits up for the fans to follow them in those years. He was funny as he mocked the club, in the most nice way. He kept us being fans until Gil took over, and made us a real baseball team.

Maybe Carter. But not Keith. Keith was a great clubhouse leader and a very good player and all that jazz, but he only played 4 full seasons for the Mets. That's just not enough time. Heck, Olerud played 3 full seasons and put up much better numbers and by all accounts was a great guy in the clubhouse, so should his number get retired? personally, I’d retire Koos’ number and possibly Gooden and Strawberry.
