Here is another live look out at citi field in queens. A mets 3rd base coach tim tuffle is a man who bridges the mets teams of yesterday with the team of today. The greenwich connecticut resident was the mets 2nd baseman when the team won the title in 1986. Eyewitness news sports anchor rob powers just spoke with him. The mets returned to the scene of the win tonight, but to make the game 1 victory mean that much more they come back tonight against the cubs and try to get the win in game number 2, and for a look back at last night and a look back at the championship drive of 86 and this year, what could be this year, tim tuffle 1st base coach, first of all lets gauge the temperature in that room, the guys coming back after the game last night. I think theyre very ready. Its sunday. Its football sunday and theyre all watching Football Games and relaxed. Really nothings changed. I think the guys are confident going to stay the course. Does it remind you at all of what happened here in 86, the team that you were on . Well, 86 we had such a big lead all yearlong. We didnt have that luxury this year.

I think when we went out to l. A. We were the underdogs there, so we had similarities in that respect. I think if we take this series here the emotions are very high for the world series. Have you had a chance . I know youre working while were enjoying the gauge but have you had a chance to sit back and enjoy this run that this team has been on . Yeah.

I have some decisions to make, so im actually enjoying this a whole lot more, i think, than when i was playing. You called murph over to 3rd base in that dodgers series didnt you. We give him all the credit when he does things like that right and theres other times where it doesnt work out so well. Murph is a headsup player, hes a ballplayer. What a great moment. So close to game time, thanks for coming out and spending a few minutes with our viewers at home. Tim tuffle, its the mets, its the cubs later on tonight here at citi field. Hes got the best job. He does. We know about the matchup between the mets and the cubs, but how about new york versus chicago. Well, its the win did i city, chicago, of course, against the big apple, and we have to say the big apple is probably a better name. I agree with that. Chicagos tallest building is the willis tower, which rises 1451 feet. But new yorks tallest building is 1 world trade center, and its 1792 feet. Chicago is famous for its deep dish style pizza pies, but new y
