Nice article and excellent references. As a N.Y. Mets fan, I remember the 1986 NLCS series very well, the tension that existed throughout and especially so in game 6 with the spectre of Mike Scott staring at us from a future game 7. It was chilling and quite unusual. The Mets had to face numerous great pitchers that year, and we had some ourselves, but not like Mr. Scott in late 1986. The entire series probably helped steel N.Y.'s nerves and create one of the more memorable Fall Classics. I do wonder though whether Scott did scuff or 'doctor' the ball... This would be illegal, of course, however there is a long, notable, even distinguished, history of this in baseball and it is to a degree accepted practice for pitchers to try this time and again. Such as the duty or practice of war prisoners escaping; shooting an occasional stag or male turkey off season; having some beer at age 20, & etc. (John G. Lewis (talk) 21:03, 27 October 2018 (UTC))
