Well, it was only a 7-8 minute segment on the Mets early years and culminated with the 1969 Miracle Mets. Nice footage of Ashburn, Hodges, and Thronebury and an assortment of Mets gaffes and errors. A little Stengal footage thrown in. "If you wanted to win the division you knew you had to beat the Mets. You just had to." *-- Dick Groat Then they transitioned to the 1969 Mets with Seaver, Koosman, Harrelson, and Hodges. "!969 was a year of miracles. We put a man on the moon and the Mets won the World Series. Around Shea, it's still debated which was the greater accomplishment." * -- Donald Honig *All quotes are close approximations of the actual quotes aired as best my feeble memory allows.
