  • Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written By: Len Ferman
    Published in General Innovative Lessons from the Miracle Mets of 1969: Part 3 of 3 March 17, 2020 | Written by: Len Ferman This is the final post in a 3 part series. Read the first two parts: Part 1 | Part 2 How the Worst Team in Baseball History Innovated to Win the World Series 50 Years Ago The New York Mets of 1969 The New York Mets baseball club of 1969 has come to be known as simply the Miracle Mets. The story of that club is perhaps the closest that major league baseball, or for that matter all of professional sports, has ever come to producing a true to life fairy tale. From Worst to First The Mets first season in 1962 was a record setting campaign in futility. The Mets lost 120 of their 160 games. No major league baseball team before or since has come close to losing that many games. And the losing didn’t stop there. From 1962 – 1968 the Mets lost an average of 105 games per year as they finished in last or second to last place every year. Then, in a stunning reversal of fortune, in that miracle year of 1969, when men first landed on the moon, the Mets won 100 games and won the World Series. The Players Credit Their Manager The players on the 1969 Mets all gave the credit for the amazing turnaround to their manager Gil Hodges. “We were managed by an infallible genius[i]”, said Tom Seaver, the club’s young star pitcher. And leading batter on the team, Clean Jones said, “If we had been managed by anybody else, we wouldn’t have won.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • 2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW the Planes Above, the Mets Below in ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’S Hard to Find a Saving Grace
    2008 BASEBALL PREVIEW The Planes Above, the Mets Below In ’64, Shea Was Like ‘Heaven’; Now It’s Hard to Find a Saving Grace Ron Frehm/Associated Press Coneheads, inspired by the “Saturday Night Live” sketch, at a start by David Cone in 1988. More serious fans included Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, clapping in front row, center, during the 1969 World Series. The New York Times By BEN SHPIGEL Published: March 30, 2008 At Shea Stadium, five dollars sometimes covers the cost of a seat way at the top of the upper deck but not the Sherpa to lug the oxygen tanks. The view is comparable to that from the ubiquitous low-flying planes, whose passengers, if so inclined, could reach out the window and take a bite from your Italian sausage. Buying another one would involve navigating a concourse roughly the width of a coffee table and sidestepping the bathroom line that started forming five innings earlier. By any objective standard, Shea is bleak and outdated. It has not aged, shall we say, gracefully, its imperfections and architectural shortcomings growing more prominent over the years, particularly as glorious baseball-only parks have sprouted around the country. Those flaws are now magnified by Citi Field, the Mets’ new home in 2009, whose beatific presence beyond Shea’s right-center-field fence prompted Ron Darling, the SportsNet New York analyst and former Met, to make this comparison: “It’s like driving a VW bus with a Maserati in the lot.” Of the municipally owned, multipurpose, symmetrical eyesores that sprung up in the 1960s and early ’70s, Shea was the first to arrive, preceding those concrete monstrosities in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati and now, alas, it is one of the last to go; after this season, it will be dismantled to clear parking space for Citi Field.

The New York Yankees, Philadelphia/Oakland Athletics, and St. Louis Cardinals have won many. The Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, and San Francisco Giants endured decades-long dry spells before they finally won the orldW Series. Even expansion teams like the New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and Florida Marlins have won multiple championships. Other expansion teams like the San Diego Padres and Texas Rangers have been to the Fall Classic multiple times, although they did not win. Then we have the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs have not been to a World Series since 1945, and have not won one since 1908.

  • My Tom Seaver Memories
    My Tom Seaver Memories This past week the world lost one of the greats as George Thomas Seaver passed away at the age of 75 in Calistoga, CA. For many around my age, this was the passing of one of our first sports heroes. The pitcher we knew as “Tom Terrific” and “The Franchise” is one of the biggest reasons I am a sports fan and along with Muhammad Ali, Walt “Clyde” Frazier and Joe Namath formed my personal childhood “Mount Rushmore” of sports legends. So, it really hit me when Seaver passed and opened a floodgate of memories that I felt compelled to write down. This won’t be short and definitely not “perfect” (I will blame Jimmy Qualls for any grammar errors), but if you have some time, sit back and enjoy. In September of 1969 I started kindergarten at Birchwood Elementary School (I shared Mrs. Kelly’s afternoon class with my future wife Sandy, but that is a story for another day). I was the fourth Maroney child to go to school there, following my older siblings Richard, Rosemary and Kevin. This was in the midst of a phenomenal New York City sports run that unfortunately I was a little young to truly enjoy. On January 12, 1969 the Joe Namath lead Jets shockingly upset the heavily favored Baltimore Colts to win Super Bowl III. I have no real time memories of this game but have read all about it, watched all the highlights and thanks to the NFL Network, currently have the game downloaded on my DVR (Try to explain to any of us back then the powers of the DVR and you would be locked up in an insane asylum).

  • Ed Kranepool 18 Years a Met Speaks of the Golden Age of Baseball by Marc Gold
    January 18, 2021 Ed Kranepool 18 years a Met speaks of the Golden Age of baseball By Marc Gold I spoke with Ed Kranepool at length about his days with the Mets, the people he played with and against, and the state of baseball in general. Marc: How are you feeling? Ed: It’s two years now, all is fine no side effects, Dr. Frank S. Darras was great at Stony Brook. They’ve taken good care of me. I’m feeling great. It’s a good year for me. M: What’s it like all of a sudden being 76? E: You don’t know the difference as long as you’re feeling good. Before my new kidney I was struggling to walk 20 feet. Now I do what I want, no restrictions. M: What was highlight of your career. E: It would have to be the 1969 World Series no question about it. If you sign a contract you want to be in the World Series, you want to win something. To me it was seven years of frustration. We lost over 100 games for 7 years. It’s never fun losing. The writers have nothing good to write about. Constant negative publicity surrounding the ball club and ball players. So, if you have a good day you’re never going to read about it. You are going to read about something that’s negative because you lose. So, when you finally win there’s a reason to go to the ballpark. We never had a reason to play during the second half of the season.
