Mets legend and 1986 World Series champion outfielder Mookie Wilson then joins the show. Wilson talks about his stepson Preston Wilson being traded for Mike Piazza and the strange way he learned of the deal, the bond he had built with Bill Buckner, the ground ball in Game 6, his gospel album and being an ordained minister, coaching, the ’86 Mets, Lenny Dykstra as a teammate and his thoughts on Brandon Nimmo.
