The New York Mets had a special turn out for Old Timers Day on Saturday, which made several former players feel back at home - especially Ray Knight.The 1986 World Series MVP was pleased with the warm welcome he and other ex-Mets received, and he didnt mince any words when discussing his disdain for the previous owners Fred and Jeff Wilpon https://www.nymteamstore.com/Travis_Blankenhorn_Jersey.I hadnt spoken to Jeff Wilpon in 30 years, period, Knight told the New York Post on Saturday after the festivities.Never was invited back, except for the 30-year [World Series reunion]. I was never invited to throw out the first pitch, none of that stuff. And that hurts because you give everything you have, and you expect somebody to give a little something back, and thats what this organization is doing now Jeff McNeil Jersey.I love the New York Mets. I dont like the Wilpons, I dont like any of that deal.After helping the Mets win the World Series in 86, Knight was not brought back by the team. Instead, he signed with the Baltimore Orioles, before finishing his career with the Detroit Tigers in 1988.Knight spent three years with the Mets from 1984-1986 and helped them capture their last championship.
