The Impossible Dream: World Series Button
Date: 1969
After the franchise’s humble beginnings, no one expected the Mets to win the NL East Division, the NLCS or the World Series in 1969. But the Amazin’ Mets made the impossible possible by checking all those boxes. “How do you like the sound of New York Mets, champions of the world?” asked New York Times sportswriter Arthur Daley after Game 3 of the World Series. “No longer is it an unattainable goal in some distant never-never land of impossible dreams.”
