The New York Mets held a reunion for their 1986 championship team at Citi Field on August 1, 2026, marking the 40th anniversary of their World Series victory. The ceremony was attended by several former players, though the crowd of about 30,000 fans highlighted the current struggles of the team, now with a record of 47-65. The event was overshadowed by a recent loss to the Miami Marlins and followed the passing of team icons such as Gary Carter and others, prompting reflective comments from Ron Darling about the legacy of the team. The reunion served as a bittersweet reminder of the franchise's glory days amidst a challenging season.
