� By August of 1969 the Mets were 10 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the newly formed National League East Division. They soon caught fire due to an outstanding young pitching staff.

� They had won 38 of their last 49 games. The Mets won the Division with a 100-62 record. They defeated the National League West Division champs Atlanta Braves which advanced them the World Series.

�Here they had to face the American League champ Baltimore Orioles. The Orioles had posted the best record in baseball that year. The Orioles won the first game of the Series, but then the “Miracle Mets” took over. They won the next four games in a row to take the World Series 4 games to 1.
