I was just a little kid when the "Amazin' Mets" won the world series in 1969, but I do remember their "Cinderella run" in 1973. Those teams the Mets had during the "Seaver years" sure provided a lot of excitement.

[@brutusonbaseball]

I can imagine that would have been a very fun time to be a Mets fan! They had a lot of great years in those first three decades...it's good to see the current team changing the narrative again for the better!

[@big8dog887]

The irony of the fact that the Mets went so long without a no-hitter is the fact that they traded away seven of them. Small nitpick. The Mets actually participated in the second ever expansion draft, the American League held one the year before for the Angels and the Senators (now Rangers). In August of 1965, while the Mets were away on a road trip, Shea Stadium hosted the first ever Beatles concert in the United States, which was also the first concert held at a major sports arena, birthing the whole concept of massive arena rock concerts.

[@brutusonbaseball]

Thanks for catching that...I had not double checked that expansion draft comment. Will see if I can fix it. Cool non-baseball trivia there about the Beatles. I recalled that they started the sports arena concert concept...but had forgotten it was at Shea!

Thanks my friend, really appreciate the kind words and support!

Lisa's husband, Andy here. Another great video Brutus. Keep 'em coming. The Mets were a very good team when I first started watching baseball over here in the U.K. in the 1980's. But as you say, they were as mad as you get.

[@brutusonbaseball]

They were a fun team to watch back then, and the cause of their own destruction!

[@lisaw1525]

@@brutusonbaseball (Andy W) they were definitely 'Rock N Roll'

[@dianeolson-salmon8907]

Great video, Brent. I vividly remember the broken bat fiasco, and the melee that ensued. I loved watching Yogi Berra work.

[@brutusonbaseball]

Thanks! That broken bat moment was very memorable, especially with two powerhouse players duking it out!

[@dianeolson-salmon8907]

@@brutusonbaseball that moment was discussed for a long time.

[@brutusonbaseball]

@@dianeolson-salmon8907 very true

[@charliesiscaretti3916]

Awesome video

[@brutusonbaseball]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

You implied that Duke Snider was drafted in the expansion draft. He wasn't on the 1962 Mets. They acquired him before the 1963 season.

[@brutusonbaseball]

Sorry, did not mean to imply that. May have just been how the editing process turned out. Thanks for adding the clarification!

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

@@brutusonbaseball No.. You were talking about the expansion draft and said the Mets went after players like Gil Hodges, Duke Snider and Richie Ashburn. Then talked about 1962. And you never mentioned fan favorite and the man wbo was born to play for the 1962 Mets, Marvin Eugene Throneberry!

[@brutusonbaseball]

Oh man, how could I forget Throneberry!

[@emorimiku]

...... out of a hat?.... well that's baseball I guess

[@brutusonbaseball]

No kidding huh? Imagine if the Phillies had Carlton and Seaver both, they would have been unstoppable! Baseball definitely used to be a good ole boys club

[@big8dog887]

@@brutusonbaseball Of course, if the Phillies had Seaver, they may not have made the Carlton trade, but point well taken. Both of those guys, IMO, have really fallen off the radar when today's fans discuss great pitchers, even though I think both are arguably top 10 all-time, and were certainly thought of that way when they were active.

[@brutusonbaseball]

@@big8dog887 Totally agree, Seaver especially I would put in my top 10 all-time list
