Let’s go to Ruben from Bucks County; he’s got some thoughts on the 76ers. Ruben, go ahead:“What an über-talented team. I don’t know what Michael Jordan people would say about that, but it’s hard to argue.”This was not a sports call-in show, just Ruben Amaro Jr. chatting about one of his favorite teams in a dugout interview at Citi Field the other day. Amaro, the Mets’ first-base coach, also loves the Philadelphia Eagles, the Flyers, the Union, Villanova and — yes, even now — the Phillies, the team that fired him as general manager in September 2015. Amaro has been back before as a coach, for the Boston Red Sox in 2017, before the Mets hired him in November.
