Best Answer

The Mets were horrible for 7 years, and were mediocre for the first part of their eighth year, 1969. The Mets were 9 1/2 back in mid-August and then suddenly went 39-11 while the Cubs collapsed. The Mets then swept the Braves in the playoffs, and then shocked the Orioles in the World Series.
