Our look-back at the 1985 baseball season concludes with an episode discussing the exciting World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals. Listen in as KC triumphs, coming back from an 3-1 series deficit, and St. Louis completely melts down, instigated by a botched umpire call. The podcast will then return in two weeks when we start a biweekly series of episodes talking about the Top 10 at each position in Mets history.
