Terry Collins knows first-hand the challenges of the New York Mets battling for the National League pennant.

Between appearances at the SportsNet New York studios located in New York City’s section of Manhattan on the lower east side, Collins easily recalls his time with the Mets during the organization’s last taste of National League Championship Series play. Then, there were two more seasons as the club’s bench boss before hanging up his uniform, after the 2017 season at age 68, for the last time. Thirteen MLB seasons at the helm of three clubs, but his time in the Big Apple by far is what he rates as the most rewarding.
