This couldn't have happened at a better time in my life. I started playing baseball in 67. I watched the tigers/cards as in 68 . at that time I was 7. When I turned 8 baseball was my entire world. I was young hopeful and wide eyed. I got to see them beat the Braves but my mom insisted I go to school and at that time the we was during the day. I faked an injury to go home from school and watched em win the ws, I was so happy. My dad got me into baseball and we'd throw the ball together after school. My dad was such a great dad and we shared baseball our whole lives. No matter what was going on we always had baseball. It was the manly way of saying I love u. Love and miss u pop.
a half century later and it still makes my heart race....
My all time favorite Mets team EVER Lets Go Mets
I was at the black cat game and it was insane. The beer coming down from the upper deck soaked me and my brother. It was glorious.
Wasn’t it fun to watch those jet planes flying to or from LaGuardia Airport and JFK Airport from the upper decks at Shea Stadium?
Still, after 50 years, one of the most compelling stories in the history of MLB. I was rooting for the Braves in that first ever NLCS, however, nobody was going to derail the Mets' destiny that year. That team was, in a word, "Amazing".
True james
@Over Under Sideways Down Yes I remember that season well. The only sympathetic figures in the story of the "Amazing Mets" of '69 was the late "Mr. Cub", Ernie Banks, and the rest of the Cubs. I believe that was the closest Ernie ever got to playing post-season baseball. From that standpoint, it was a shame that the nicest gentleman, and best sportsman to ever play the game, was denied a chance to play in the limelight of the NLCS and WS.
Thank You, NY Mets. You did this right.👍⚾️
"This year, they'll be known in every periodical, as the Amazin', Amazin' Mets!"

Tom Terrific
That cat is the real MVP
I went to that last game, god bless you Tom.
This the Great come back in sports i still tell people this Mets team was the best ever 😄
I'm a Yankees fan and I have to admit, this is pretty cool to see.
Thanks, John, you’re a very gracious Yankees fan, like WFAN’s frequent callers, “Bruce from Flushing” and the late, great “ Vinnie from Queens.”
(The less said about “Joe D. from Brooklyn” and “Fran from Massapequa,” the better.)
I missed it by 40 years and I still have goosebumps
That was a very super ending of the Mets season. Just before my time.
Woodstock, Man on the Moon, Jets, Stonewall, Beatles last recordings, Mets Champions! What a historic year! The best so far!
Not to mention a great rock music like Led Zeppelin I and II, King Crimson’s In the court of the crimson king, Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed, Beatles last album Abbey Road, so much amazing music.
NY Knicks the following year
White sox fan. I was 12. The Mets spared me the pain of seeing Cubs in world series. Ty '69 Mets!!
Thank you for the video. Great memories. I have an autographed ball from the '66 Mets. One of my prized posetions along with my wife.
Very cool, especially when you think of all that was happening in NY in 1969. Cheers to the heroes!
Let's go METS
I was born in December of 1961 a few months before the start of the Mets first season. I've been a fan since 1983 and watching this video has given me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes! Go Mets Go from John in Calgary Alberta Canada.
What a team
A very special year for me as well... was 11 yrs old at the time... just enjoyed the magic that was engulfing New York at the time... I even lucked out and appeared in the 1969 Sesame Street pilot introduction program-and got paid for it! :)
Probably the greatest year of my life, and the greatest event of my year...and Ive had a good life
between Ed Kranepol, Ron Swoboda & Bud Harrelson they were my favorite NY Mets!
someone gave a piece of the infield sod!!
Was 7 years old in grade school when this happened...being a Mets fan in Queens, N.Y. as a kid was magical..the Mets conquered the impossible...nobody believed they could do it just as people had doubts about putting a man on the moon but that ALL became possible in 1969..the 1969 New York Mets will forever live in the history of MLB.
I was 6 and had an older brother that made me a Mets believer that year. With all the hard years that followed 1969 my brother jumped ship and became a Yankee fan , but I couldn't leave and have been with them since!
I was in 6th grade. Didn't watch Games 1 and 2. Conveniently came down with a sore throat on Monday night (day before Game 2), so I got to stay home and watch the game on TV (all WS games were during the day back then). Fortuantely, my grandmother was able to come over and be with me since my mom had to work. Same thing the next day for Game 4. I probably could have gone to school on Thursday, but no way was I missing that, so I told my mom "better give it one more day". I still remember Davey Johnson hitting the fly to left, Cleon catching it and going down on one knee, then Koosman leaping into Grote's arms. The greatest part of a great year. Can't believe it's been 50 years! Ironic that Davey Johnson would be managing the Mets for their only other World Championship 17 years later.
@@transitfan954
Maybe current Mets manager Luis Rojas will join the late, great Gil Hodges and Dave Johnson as the third and latest World Series-winning Mets manager this season?
Maybe you knew my father since he was the same age and also grew up in Queens (Kew Gardens and later Flushing), a Mets fan to this day. He tells me about how you would often run into the players that also lived in the neighborhood at the bus stops. I can only imagine what it'd be like, seeing your heroes taking the same bus as you on their way to work.
I love my Mets !
"The last miracle I did was the '69 Mets. Before that I think you have to go back to the Red Sea." -George Burns, "Oh, God"
"AMAZIN'!"
Ya gotta believe!
1973 Pini.
Wasn’t it great to see Karl Erhardt, the Mets’ great “sign man” in this film? I liked it whenever Tommie Agee came up to hit, Mr. Erhardt would hold up two signs, with only one letter on each one, simply saying:
A and G!
Oh my goodness! It was so nice seeing those guys again and watching the clips. That was an exciting time!! :)
I was a Mets hating Yankees fan ... and it makes MY heart race !!
what a great vid to start my Sunday with! LGM
Goose bumps watching this!
My uncle is Wayne garret
I would go pick his brain for all the info I can get about that year Simply Amazing
My upstairs neighbor was in love with him...... He still looks the same, just older....
@@TheReubenKincaid And a female classmate of mine in 8th grade.
Great series too with Oakland in 73
I’m insanely jealous of you!!!
I was at camera day that year, Mets V Phils in late Aug... Stood right up against the cornor of the Mets dogout close to the plate. Got closeup pix of almost all of them.
the mets hype/tribute videos this year have been superb. please upload the tom seaver video from today's ceremony (the one narrated by gary cohen) as well!
Went to several games that summer including the black cat game and was NOT a Mets fan but it was a lot of fun as a kid to follow their surge to the top. I remember attending an August make up game vs the Astros. Stadium was empty with open seating. Sat behind the visitor dugout.
In that year of 1969, there was also pennant fever in Chicago with the Cubs in first place most of the season until their collapse in September.
Ya gotta believe
Being a mets fan its not just being a huge fan its magical i love this franchise and always will i have great memories of going to shea wether we win or not .i didn't care i saw my mets .remember my grandma saying another t shit with a 41 written in the back man thoses were the days .its 2019 .50 years has past by come on mets make us believe again bring it home .LETS GO METS
So are you from the Queens/Long Island area or do you just root for the Mets?
I was born in New York live ther till i was 14 then my parents decided to come back to puerto rico were i have been living ever since
This was the best memorial put together ever. It was awesome. I was there again. It’s hard to believe that so many of the Mets from 1969 are no longer with us. In someways it feels like yesterday.
tears of joy LGM
right? !?!
I’m not even a Mets fan, a Phillies fan in fact, but this video was pretty awesome
Terrific ceremony!
When an expansion team has better odds than you to win
The linemakers figured that the NL was deeper overall than was the AL.
1969... the year NY won everythin!!!
@Mark Lewis. YES! Except the Stanley. Jets in SB III (Jan/69), Mets in WS (Oct/69) and Knicks in NBA (69-70).
@@jgowin66 remember them all... Thx
@Snake Man. Right. Ironically, the city of Baltimore came close the very next year, with the Orioles winning the WS in October/70, and the Colts winning SB V in January/71. The third leg wasn't accomplished as the old "Baltimore Bullets" got swept in the NBA Finals in the Spring of '71.
It was very very very Mets of the Mets to present this video to all of us in the stands completely uncredited. It is a great little film. Now can anyone tell us who produced it?
Went to game 3. Agee's game, Nolan Ryan in relief. Watch the movie Frequency with Dennis Quiad and Jim Caviezal if you remember The 69 Mets.
I might be a Yankee fan, but when those guys from Flushing start winning, it's a special, special kind of thing.
Made me cry to see this.
I love you guys
Beautiful!
I’m hysterically crying, I need to thank the person that edited this, that couldn’t have been more perfect.
Benny,
I think that many of us, who were young kids and teenagers way back in 1969, are welling-up after watching this terrific video of the greatest accomplishment in New York City sports history.
Sadly, many of the Miracle Mets have died over the years: Tommie Agee, Don Cardwell, Cal Koonce, Ed Charles, Donn Clendenon and, of course, Tom “The Franchise” Seaver.
It was also disheartening to hear that the Mets’ great shortstop, Bud Harrelson, has been battling dementia, and has been admitted to a long-term care facility.
You get a sense of your own mortality, when you see the heroes of your youth in sports, music, acting and public service departing this mortal coil.
It’s like what the venerable Casey Stengel once said:
“It ain’t much fun, getting old.”
I was 13 years old in 1969 living in Brooklyn with my family of rabid Met fans. Watched the moon landing, went to Woodstock with my two older brothers, and just about lived at Shea stadium that summer. Cut school with my brothers and friends went to the 3rd game of the playoffs when The Mets swept Atlanta and all three games of the World Series at Shea. Was on the field before Cleon even caught the last out, what a year!
I went to 25 Cubs games that summer as a 14 year old boy and was certain it was their year. Was I wrong!!!
Nice
Uffff campeones de la serie mundial METS
Great memories
Ron Swoboda's dad was one of my shop teachers in high school.
Love how Rocky said "Jimmy F*&^%$# Qualls" about the Imperfect Game..sums up all Mets fans feelings about that hit.
“Let’s go METS!”
Hank Aaron was quoted as saying "those guys could get anybody out" when talking about the Mets pitching staff.
Wish we knew the music to all of this.
These Mets were the greatest
I still have not seen the equal of Swoboda's 9th inning, Game 4 catch in the 50 years since it occurred. There have been many diving catches going forward, backward and sideways (Jim Edmonds' catch against KC for an example), but nothing, in my opinion matches the utter impossibility of Swoboda's catch. That line drive by Brooks was sinking...fast. Swoboda dived instinctively, without any plan for landing. In fact, his body hit the turf so violently that you'd think the ball would be dislodged. Yet, Swoboda popped up immediately and fired a dart toward home plate, too late to keep Frank Robby from scoring the tying run, but saving a possible big inning for the O's
I remember October 16, 1969 as though it were yesterday.
Mets magic
I thought Baltimore would shred them before it started but how wrong I was!
If the truth be told, so did most Mets fans before the start of the World Series.
I was 8 years old and remember every single game. I have always said that 1969 was my greatest year; especially growing up near Yankee Stadium. I Loved the Mets and will always hate the Yankees. I no longer follow them for about five years ago. I no longer watch any NY team sports; all ownerships suck. Jets, Giants, Mets, and Knicks. Money has ruined the decency of man. No one respects pride in doing things; all they care is belonging to the demon of greed. This is just like the rich with the orange dude in the WH; they are killing middle class and the poorer will become homeless. That will be the new category of life in the U.S. it will be TOTALLY HOMELESS, POOR AND THE RICH 1%. PEOPLE, since Nixon took the value of Gold from the Dollar; the debt flies high and everyone except the pure rich will survive here. But, at least I know that when they all die none of them will take that greed with them. We will take GOD's love and they will stay with the Devil they created. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE. IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO LIVE IN LOVE AS GOD WANTS US TO LIVE. NO RELIGION; THAT IS ALL A FARSE. PEACE & LOVE TO ALL!

Gotta be Jackie O
Swoboda
I noticed her, too!
Yes, Mrs. Kennedy-Onassis was sitting there with her son, John, and, very briefly, her Greek husband, who probably didn’t know the first thing about baseball.
1969ー New York vs. Baltimore in both the Series and the Super Bowl 😮 Also, the ”Game of the Century”, Arkansas vs. Texas, with Richard Nixon in attendance 😮
Ed Kranepool, Mets #7, 1962-1979, drafted by the Mets at age 17, spent his entire career with the Mets. A true Met, his number 7 should be the next number retired by the New York Mets.
They could play that World Series 10 more times and the Orioles would have won all 10. But it will never happen.
Little known factoid: The black cat was actually planted on the field by a couple of fans. There was some discussion as to whether to release a black cat or a small red-spotted nematoda, similar to a giraffes rectal area. You're welcome. 😮😅
0:01 Curt Gowdy.
Every starter from this club should have their number retired !
Amazin ? You bet it was
You know you were born a Mets fan if you were born on October 16th, the day they won the WS. Luckily I was born a Mets fan. 😂😂😂😂
Long live the 69 Mets
1969....part 2
Ed Kranepool steal Chico's soap. Never give it back. "Bad things about the Mets"
Orioles were actually in 4 World Series in 6 years
I don’t think I Saw NOLAN RYAN In that Video at all ?!!!
Dammit Cubs!! Billy Goats and black cats were your demise in 1969. Nah, actually it was P.K. Wrigley and lack of night games.
The cubs have problems w recalcitrant animals, cats, goats, bartmans.
In 1969, mankind achieved two amazing, awe-inspiring and unprecedented accomplishments. They reached up to heavenly heights and attained a goal previously undreamed of that captivated the imagination of man. Oh, and they also walked on the moon.
The supposed moon landing is a hoax created by the Satanic globalists who want the masses to become atheists and to think that we are an insignificant accident made out of random chaos. We can’t leave the planet because of the firmament. LGM! Peace!

Jets > Baltimore, Mets > Baltimore, Knicks > Baltimore
No, the Knicks beat the Lakers in the 69-70 season... not Baltimore?!
@@MarkLewis... The Knicks beat the Baltimore Bullets in the Eastern Divison Semifinals that year. They couldn't beat them in the finals for obvious reasons.
@@rjj1965 the first 2 were championships (Jets in the Super Bowl and the Mets in the World Series) ... think it would have been better to clarify the Baltimore connection specifically to the Knicks, but ok?! It's your post. Thanks.
If you're a real fan, there's no need to clarify. A real fan would understand that the Knicks couldn't play Baltimore in the finals for the championship. They would, however, know that 3 teams from NY beat 3 teams from Baltimore in the post season in the same year. I never wrote that 3 teams from NY beat 3 teams from Baltimore for the championship.
@@rjj1965... Couldn't leave it alone there could you...?! No, you are in a little damage control, for a stupid comment. You, also knew I was right, and knew what I meant, but your ego wouldn't let you drop it, or for you to respectfully clarify your statement. No, you had to dick up. By the looks of your avatar pic, you'll be dying of natural causes soon... Shouldn't you be trying a lot harder to get into heaven now?
We're even... Let it go old man.
Most overrated team ever. Seriously who cares?
Like their tenants The Jets, they weren't a dynasty and really had one star, but they both made history The Jets, winning for The AFL and The Mets being the first expansion team to win a World Series, both as big underdogs to Baltimore would be dynasty's.
