Fuck the Mets!!!

Well, the Mets' pitching had a lot to do with it too. I don't think the O's were overconfident.

[dzanier]

There's no doubt that the 69 O's were better than the 69 Mets despite their losing to New York. But the Mets won something like 39 out of their last 49 and in the NLCS their pitching was actually sub par versus Atlanta, but they hit the crap out of the ball and won anyway. I wouldn't call the Mets a fluke.  I think it's a perfect example of how a manager can impact his players and get them to reach higher levels. Gil Hodges was the BOSS, no ifs ands or buts.

the orioles lost the '69 series simply because they were over confident. they thought they would surely win as long as they showed up. it was not quite that easy.

I was a little kid--11 years old when this World Series took place. My dad, who had been a Dodgers fan when they played in NY was a big time mets fan. One of my fondest memories of my childhood is seeing his reaction when they won. He was absolutely beside himself with joy. Thanks for posting this....good memories.

@tjrxk7 Relax man.. I'm a Yankee fan...who doesn't hate the Mets.. and we're used to getting hated on by other cities. He's INSANELY jealous... all through out sports.. there's always been a NY team to break the hearts of another team... Baltimore.. New England.. Boston... LA... Enjoy being the underdog. Remember.. there were TWO Baltimore teams that year that got crushed by an underdog NY team. Can you blame them for being sore? LOL !!!
