Spoiler Alert

The days grow shorter, the Flashbacks grow longer. You already know the Mets won the 1999 National League Wild Card if you read this or lived through it. I’d maintain the suspense over the outcome of the NLDS that followed, but they give it away when you walk in the Bullpen Plaza.
All of which is to say, another Friday, another delayed Flashback. Keep tuning in for the continued story behind the story of October 1999. It’ll appear sooner than later, I promise.

Got a match?
Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
(Actually, don't smoke. Thank you.)
Greg,
The playoff game against Cincinnati that got us the wild card is being replayed next Saturday afternoon on MLB Network.
