Message: [QUOTE="chj001, post: 3820102, member: 8206"] Jordy. this is one BIG Senior Moment!!! Unless you got into the Wayback Machine and changed history, your account, as Cousin Vinny would say, doesn't hold water. The Mets indeed beat the Reds in 5 games (not to play the Braves, but) to win the National League pennant and advance to the World Series where they lost to the A's in 7 ending on [B]October 21, 1973. [/B]They did NOT play the Braves that year in the playoffs. That was in 1969, when they swept the Braves to win the pennant and play the Orioles in the WS. I was at all three of the games at Shea against the Reds in 1973 and remember vividly the Rose-Harrelson fight and Rusty, Cleon and Willie going out to left to calm the fans in Game 3. I was behind the first base dugout and joined the jubilous Met fans who stormed the field after winning game 5. [/QUOTE]
