KEVIN MITCHELL METS FUNNY BIRTHDAY QUOTE OF THE DAY

One time Met, Kevin Mitchell was born on this day in 1962. In an understatement of immense proportion, Mitchell was a unique individual.

He was known for several things. The one most important in Mets lore, is of course, his single in Game 6 of the '86 World Series that kept the game alive for the Mets. He ultimately scored the tying run when Bob Stanley threw a wild pitch to Mookie Wilson.

After the Mets traded him, Mitchell had some terrific seasons. The most notable was his 1989 MVP season with the Giants. He hit .291 that year with 123 ribbies and 47 home runs. His career was not so successful after that and he played for several more teams. He holds the record for being the only baseball MVP to play for eight teams.

Mitchell was known to enjoy a good time off the field which led to an all-time funny quote from Lenny Dykstra

"Mitch found God in spring training. Then every night he went out looking for a Goddess."
--Lenny Dykstra, on Kevin Mitchell
