In an article for Newsday, Jim Baumbach discusses why there is still an uneasy tension between the Mets and Ray Knight.

Baumbach writes:

“The relationship soured because of their failed negotiations that following off-season (of 1986), but after all these years there has been no reconciliation, no hug-it-out moment.”

“Twice, the Mets invited Knight back for events at Shea Stadium. Twice, Knight declined their invite.”

Knight, as quoted by Baumbach:

“I love the Mets. I pull for them.”

…i was one of the people hoping that knight would have been at the last game at shea, but again he did not show…i do not understand this situation fully, but i do think that some things should be just swept under the carpet and people should move on…
