Former Mets 1B Dave Magadan joins the MetsRewind Podcast to talk hitting, his father's influence on his career and his time with the Mets.

Magadan was a member of the 1986 New York Mets World Series championship team. Despite limited time in 1986, Magadan hit .444 in the month of September and was in the starting lineup the night the Mets clinched the National East title on September 17, 1986. On that night, Magadan went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI including the eventual game-winning hit.

But as the calendar flipped to October, Magadan was back home in Florida as the teammates went on a historic run beating the Houston Astros in the NLCS and winning the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.
