What do the Mets owe Backman? They knew about his problems but didn't blow the whistle. If anything they covered for him. It's great that he was part of the '86 team and all, but this situation is entirely of his own making. This might sound blasphemous to some, but the guy had one less HR in his Met career than Ordonez did, with almost 100 less RBI...
