1969

The Mets, thanks to Ron Swoboda's double and two Oriole errors in the eighth inning, win their fourth straight World Series game to become World Champions. Jerry Koosman tosses a five-hitter, beating Baltimore 5-3 in Game 5, a contest which will be best remembered for manager Gil Hodges winning the 'shoe polish' argument.

2000

In Game 5 of the NLCS, the Mets capture their fourth National League pennant when Mike Hampton throws a complete-game three-hit shutout, blanking the Cardinals at Shea Stadium, 7-0. Bobby Valentine's team joins the 1997 Marlins as the only other wild-card team to advance to the World Series.




Baseball Reference:


1969 - The New York Mets win their fourth straight game from the Baltimore Orioles with a 5 - 3 triumph behind pitcher Jerry Koosman, who throws a five-hitter, to take the World Series in five games. In the 3rd inning, Baltimore takes a 3 - 0 advantage after home runs by pitcher Dave McNally and outfielder Frank Robinson. After a strong argument by Mets manager




1973 - The Oakland Athletics win Game 3 of the World Series in 11 innings as Bert Campaneris gets the winning RBI in a 3 - 2 victory over the Mets. In a private clubhouse meeting, Dick Williams tells A's players he will resign after the Series.


1999: The New York Mets trip the Atlanta Braves, 3 - 2, to stay alive in the NLCSJohn Olerud has all three New York runs with a solo home run in the 6th inning, and a two-run single off John Rocker in the 8th. Brian Jordan and Ryan Klesko hit back-to-back homers in the 8th for the Braves' two runs. Rick Reed, the Mets starter, shuts out Atlanta over the first seven innings on a single hit.
