Ray Knight drops F-bomb during Mets broadcast…
Former Mets hero Ray Knight may need forgotten he was on tv.
Knight, who was at Citi Field for the Mets’ reunion of their 1986 World Series championship group, casually dropped an F-bomb while speaking to SNY reporter Steve Gelbs about the camaraderie with his teammates.
“It’s just we hugged,” Knight said. “I had about four or five guys on the team that gave me a kiss on the cheek and I kissed a couple guys on the cheek. People can think what they want to think, but I don’t give a f–k.”
Knight’s shock profanity precipitated ex-Met Daniel Murphy — who was in the SNY broadcast sales space — to let loose an prolonged chuckle.
“But I do know one thing, I like going to war with those men,” Knight added.
Knight is best recognized in Queens for taking home World Series MVP for his efforts against the Red Sox, most notably scoring the profitable run in Game 6 following Boston first baseman Bill Buckner’s notorious error.
Mookie Wilson — who famously hit the game-winning ground ball past Buckner — was also in attendance for the fortieth anniversary of their championship, and he called the 1986 group “special.”
“The personalities have been so different [and] the cultures have been so different,’’ Wilson said Saturday. “It’s uncommon to discover that many different personalities come together and play in concord. … We discovered a method to win. We all wished to win.

“Teams and players in general are defined by their expectations and people expected us to win. And we expected us to win.”
The Mets honored the squad before their 6-2 loss to the Marlins on Saturday, with those in attendance standing at second base after being launched on the sector.
Members of the championship group also interviewed on the SNY broadcast both before and during the sport.
