In my opinion, that 1999 mets team was better than the 2000 one. Statistically, talent wise. Just ran into a hot Atlanta team who always had their number up to that point.
absolutely the 99 team was better. 2000 was a very good team who got hot in October for a bit and, honestly, was a bit lucky that they avoided Atlanta in the playoffs that year. But 1999 was a legit great team.
Both of those teams were very good. I would say 2000 was more balanced than 1999 Mets. The offense was more balanced with better starting pitching. Mike Hampton and Bobby Jones had big games in that postseason. The 1999 team never had great starting pitching outside of Al Leiter.
Actually the 2000 Mets hit more homeruns but probably a lower batting average. You're right about the defense being better in 99. The bullpen was the same guys in both years. The 2000 Mets played the Braves tougher than in 99.
Haven't seen this in over 10 yrs! This was actually handed out (in DVD FORM) at the gates as a promotional give away during the 2000 season....Tom Seaver narrating.
Coming from a Dodger fan here that Mets team of 99 was very good if they had been able to get to game 7 against Atlanta they would have gone to the series
Kyle Hasib: Don't be so sure. That Yankee team was dominant: 98-64, 900 runs scored (47 more than the Mets), +169 run differential in the regular season. 11-1 in the postseason, with their only loss coming against Pedro Martinez. The 2000 Yankees, however, were mediocre, & the Mets were the better team going into that WS.
@@ellandecampbell6279 The 99 Yankees were almost as good as the 98 Yankees. In some ways, the 99 Yankees were even better because in the playoffs they absolutely blew out everybody.
7:00 Me and my mom left to catch the bus back home since I didn't think they'd come back from 4-0 against Curt Schilling. I've regretted that ever since I heard the roars from outside Shea as we were walking out. We made up for it in October at the 28:40 mark, in one of the best regular season games in Shea's history.

that's a fact no question 99 was better

hyg3696 1999 had a better offense ( by far), better bullpen and immensely better defense

This was the Mets team I first loved; I saw the game on August 6th that year when they played the Dodgers @ Shea Stadium. Good times....
I couldn't but help but cry. The good old days
My all time fav team, the 2015 team came close though

10:50 the music is "Burning Up" by David Chesky of Manhattan Production Music
I had the 2000 video and read "Foodtown" as "Footdown". I never went into a Foodtown until I was in my 20s

this should have been released in dvd back in 2012.
‘99 Mets were a much better team than the ‘00 team. one of the best met teams assembled tbh
between this and 2006 are the best offensive mets teams ever.
no, 2015 and 2016 are the best offensive mets teams ever.
hahaha You're kidding? Right? 2016 they were dead last on hits with RISP
This was a shea give away ! Must have watched this well over 100 times
8:50 I guess that's why Clemens bullied Piazza the following year
Never forget that Todd Pratt hr
Mets in the black jerseys my team.... edgardo Alfonzo , Armando Benitez mike piazza Tom glavin Hawaiian Punch God I miss my child good
Glavine wasn't on the 99 Mets. He didn't come to the team untill 2004 I believe.
@@AJice1980 2003
Memories !!!! Warms my heart !!!!! N yea tht 99 team to me was better than 2000 team not taking anything away from 2000 but yea thus Warms my heart
