I would say that this age range works for me as well, but I certainly wouldn't call it the "golden era"...I will never forget hating the Mets with a passion in 1986 (I was 9)...I was a die-hard Astros fan and they lost to Backman, Mookie, Dykstra, HoJo and crew in the NLCS. I was sad to see the Red Sox end up losing to that Mets team as well in the WS (see prior post w/ pic of Buckner) given my hatred of that Mets team. All that chew, all that cockiness. Ugh!
Wound up moving to Boston after college and witnessed all those Championships with them in the 2000's. That was something special to me and was an amazing time to live in that town.
But my love of baseball always goes back to the late 80's and early 90s for sure...Jose Cruuuuuuz and Billy Doran...Mike Scott and Nolan Ryan....later the Killer B's and Billy Wagner....
