New York Mets 2009 Playoffs
The Mets own history reaches back to 1962, but its playoff history starts in 1969 when they dropped the Lovable Losers act and became the Amazin’ Mets. That year in the inaugural season of the National League East division the Mets were in third place in August, behind the Cubs and the Cardinals. Ten games back, the club’s season seemed doomed. The Cubs and Cardinals falter though, and the Mets had a miraculous end of the season going 38-11 in their last 49 games. The Mets finished in first place in the division with a 100-62 record and became instant fan favorites as the overwhelming underdog throughout the playoffs. The city was ecstatic to finally be visiting the post season with Mets playoff tickets instead of the annual Yankees post season run.
After sweeping the Atlanta Braves in the National League Championship Series the team went to the World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. The powerful bats of Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson, the arm of Jim Palmer, and the genius of manager Davey Johnson was supposed to be too much for a team whose magical run was bound to end. The Mets pressed on though. Pitchers Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman held teams at bay and Cleon Jones hot bat took care of the scoreboard as the Mets one the World Series 4 games to 1.
The Mets returned to the World Series shortly after in 1973, but would not return to win until 1986. After fans had a 13 year hiatus from buying playoff tickets, they were happy to oblige as the signs pointed early on to a pennant worthy season. Hot out of the gate that spring, New York clinched the National League East by September 17 and finished with a 108-54 record. The team would be no surprise with a talented roster of Darryl Strawberry, George Foster, Keith Hernandez, Lenny Dykstra, Gary Carter, and Wally Backman in the lineup and Dwight Gooden, Bob Ojeda, and Tim Teufel on the mound.
The tickets for the NLCS with the Astros saw a close series in which the Mets hitters overcame the powerful one-two punch of Mike Scott and Nolan Ryan on the mound. The World Series victory against the Boston Red Sox may best be remembered for a botched play down the first base line by Bucky Dent, but the Mets were able to take advantage and win the last two games to overcome a daunting 3-2 series deficit.
New York Mets Background
The New York Mets would go through some ups and downs, including a few years as the worst team money could buy in the ‘90s and a brief flirt with the World Series toward the end of the 20th century that ended in a loss to the Yankees in a subway series. Still, playoff tickets for the Mets have ever seemed far off as the team has collected the young talent needed to bring back the memories of the dominance of 1986.
If the Mets make a deep playoff run this season then they will be relying on the ace Johan Santana to continue his inspiring performances on the mound and Mike Pelfry and Oliver Perez will have to pitch much more consistently other wise New York playoff tickets will be too far away for the powerful bats of David Wright, Carlos Beltran, and Carlos Delgado to reach.
