Since I'm no Met fan, I can't fully appreciate the nostalgia for the '86 season. But as a pedant myself, I will point out that the '86 season was the 25th anniversary season. If you count inclusively, like the ancient Romans and me, '62 to '86 is 25 years. So, they were not celebrating 25 since the end of the '62 season, but rather 25 years from '62 to '86.

I hear you, but the counterpoint is if you got married in 1962, wouldn’t you celebrate your 25th anniversary in 1987, not 1986?
baseball season takes place within one calendar year.
the end of the '86 season marks the completion of 25 complete seasons including the '62 seasons.
married in june 1996.
year (i.e., season) 1 of being married completed in june 1997.
june 2023 marks 27 complete years of being married.
if you include the wedding day in june '96, june '23 is the 28th iteration.
in korea, i (born march 1996) would be considered 58 years old right now,
being, as i am, in my 58th year.
season one of Mets started & ended in 1962.
season 25 of Mets started & ended in 1986.
so, celebrate 25 years all through the season.
this is the romans talking. not me.
But the Romans also created the vomitorium, so I’m not gonna follow their lead.
