Mets Trivia Contest #3 Winner: 1986 Mets DVD Set

In celebration of Father's Day rapidly approaching, we gave away Mets 1986 DVD sets each of the three weeks leading up to the big day. Last week's trivia contest winner is WrightHOF, who correctly answered all ten questions and was fortunate enough to be selected by the randomizer. This was a tough one; there were only four flawless entries. Full answers can be found after the jump.
