The Mets lost the first game as Cards pitcher; John Tudor & relievers Ray Soff & Pat Perry beat the Mets 2-1. Rick Aguilera & Rick Anderon gave up a run each in the loss.
In between games, the Mets filmed the music video for their 1986 rally theme song; "Lets Go Mets Go". The tune was written & produced by Shelly Palmer & sung by Tom Bernfeld.

In the early eighties his firm became the first to win a contract with an MLB team, that club being the New York Mets. Della Femina came up with the idea for the Mets 1980's slogan"the Magic Is Back".
That day centerfieldmaz & friends were in the Shea crowd doing the chant as directed by a video team. Shots of the fans singing, cheering & doing the wave were filmed as well as the players doing their parts on the playing field. It was geeky but all in fun & back in the 80's it was awesome. Here is the classic video:
After the festivities, I remember there being a real party atmosphere going on. Back in the eighties, us Mets fans were proud, cocky & just salivating for the playoffs to start. It was a great time to be a Mets fan.
In the second game of that double header Randy Nieman went up against the Cards Danny Cox.
