Baseball

The fun thing about the 1962 Mets is that all former Brooklyn Dodger and NY Giants (baseball) fans loved them as terrible as they were. I have many happy memories of my father - Brooklyn born and bred - and among them was the joy he had going to a 1962 Mets game and celebrating their presence as well as their loss.

If the Mets don't make the playoffs - and it seems very possible they won't - well, it's the Mets. We take the good with the bad, and boy, have we endured bad.

If it's a consolation to any White Sox fans, seven years after losing 120, the Mets won the World Series.
