Michael Bamberger wrote a story worthy of the subject matter, and it’s accompanied by wonderful photos beyond this one of Hall of Famers Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver… which is pretty Amazin’, as you can plainly see.
The Mets were reborn 40 years ago. Read all about it here.

At 62 and 64 years old respectively, Ryan and Seaver would at worst slot in as the #2 and #3 starters for the 2009 New York Mets.
