Yet amid the rites of Spring Training, the future Met is as accessible […] And you thought September 30, 2007 was unique. Apparently, the Mets collapsed on some other day in some other year, though I think if those who dreamed up the chapter titles for 1969’s The Year The Mets Lost Last Place knew what awaited this franchise almost four decades down the road, they wouldn’t have taken an […] Some of this conversation actually took place last month while I was in Vegas for a bachelor-party weekend: Me, approaching cashier: I want to place a wager on the New York Mets winning the 2008 World Series.
