Flushing greats from the 1969 and 1986 championship teams in Ed Kranepool and Dwight Gooden. The two were revving up the crowd during the gathering.

While Gooden also played and won a championship with the New York Yankees, his baseball spirit lies with the Mets.

“If there has ever been any doubt of whether I’m a Yankee or a Met…I’ll always be a Met,” he said.

Kranepool, a Met from 1962, played 18 years for New York.

“New York has the greatest fans in the world and they’ve supported the Mets since I’ve started in 1962,” Kranepool. “Let’s make it three [championships].”

Mets fans have endured more than just a decade of waiting. Some have seen multiple championships, while others are praying to see their first.

John Kouril, formerly of Mineola who resides in Garden City Park, has been a Mets fan since their inception in 1962.

When the Mets topped the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series, memories of the great runs in ’69 and ’86 when the Mets captured the crown, and the roaring the days of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, came rushing back to Kouril.

“When Brooklyn was here, it was great,” Kouril said. “When they left it was terrible. This [Mets team] is the best team I’ve seen in years.”

Selina Perez, 14, of Elmont, wasn’t alive when the 2000 Mets took on and lost to the Yankees in the World Series. She called this moment “a dream come true.”

“I hope they win,” she said. “It would be great.”
