A Short Film About the Mets’ Insane Celebration After the 1986 World Series

We’re all for any story that starts with, “I don’t think this incident woulda happened if it wasn’t for hard liquor.” As told by Kevin Mitchell, Darryl Strawberry, Lenny Dykstra and Dwight Gooden of the 1986 Mets, The Best Last Best Plane Ride Ever tells the story of the celebration that occurred after the Mets won the pennant that year. Wives made out. There was a food fight. They destroyed a completely good Ozark Airlines DC-10 airplane. It’s like an animated version of an episode of Drunk History.
