The New York Mets have only won two World Series championships, but those two were so incredible that you'd think they'd won 10. While they may not go all the way often, the runs they do go on are, in a word, magical. This video is going to act as a prologue for our Wilpon documentary coming soon. Once we see what the Mets are like at their best, we can have a good idea of what's at stake with this franchise.

You forgot to mention that Nolan Ryan was a part of that 1969 Mets team. It was his only World Series ring.
Crazy
@@petestevesreal even crazier, no Cy Young for Ryan either…
@@jackstevens585 and even crazier, he probably only even deserved one at best.
@@one-mangarageband70 true true
Nolan Ryan did not want to be traded. He wanted to stay an Amazin’ Met
1:22 my great uncle was a part of that team
He was the Mets' first pick in the 1961 Expansion Draft, Hobie Landrith
Nice
He was pretty dogshit tbh
@@tatisss782 unfortunately
@@Karmy. I was just playing, I didn’t search up his stats, but that’s sick you had a family member that played!
That's Cool!
How fitting is it that the Mets won the world series in 1969. Nice. So yk the Mets are prob gonna win the 2069 world series
Bitter little elf
doubt
2024 WS
Don Clark the Bonilla money is nothing it's under 2 million dollars. Barley effects us especially with Cohen
@Don Clark you act like every other team hasn’t done that idky everyone only singles out the Mets for it
"Behind the bag, it gets thru Buckner! Here comes Knight and the Mets win it!" God ive heard that thousands of times. Great job both of you. Love GiraffeNeckMarc
Still feel bad for Buckner. He's unfairly blamed for the crash n burn. Stanley escaped criticism.
@@harrynicholes3166 totally agree. It gets lost that the game was already tied at that point
RIP Vin Scully.
Whenever anybody talks about the Mets all I can think of is the 2015 NLCS, and Daniel Murphy, or as most of Chicago remembers him as the Cub Killer.
You mean “Murphy the goat”
@@S0appy-t8w he was on a different planet. Still cant believe Howie Rose i believe was the one who called him a net negative than he torched them for 3 years. Its crazy to think that's been 5 years already.
Cespedes was fun to watch Harvey was the dark knight still Thor looked like the next super star. David Wright got to play.. and im a Yankees fan but i always root for the Mets if they are not playing The Yankees. That was a special year and i was shocked they lost after what they did to the Cubs. Which was an incredible World series too lol
And then he choked in the Wold Series... why couldn’t he do that a round earlier 😪
He didn’t just kill the Cubs that year. He had 3 homers against the Dodgers that postseason too. Two against Kershaw and one on Greinkie
The 08 Rays except for not winning it all was basically the second coming of the 69 Mets
The Rays were a first place ball club all year that season. The 69 Mets weren't. The 2008 Rays don't compare at all, dude. With all due respect.
@@PhilLeotardosGhost I mean the Ray's were pretty much horrible for their entire existence by that point kinda like the Mets in from 1962-1968 and be real NOBODY expected them to reach the WS let alone beat the defending champs in the ALCS
Who else is happy that foolish baseball and stark raving sports posted today?
The BEST baseball channels! Foolish Baseball should have his own tv show talking about baseball history and statistics
@@justinharris2272 Sadman Baseball is up there too
@@travismunoz8749 nah. Some of his videos are good but compared to foolish and stark raving, sadman doesn’t compete
I grew up in NJ as a Yankees fan, but I had a soft spot in my heart for the Mets. The 86 team were entertaining that's for sure. They rivaled the mid 70's Yankees for crazy headlines, but they balled out on the field. I think every NY baseball fan remembers exactly where they were when that crazy game 6 ending happened. A very fond memory for me. I also got to see Dwight Gooden pitch live a few times back then at Shea. His first couple seasons were incredible. He was a right handed Sanded Kaufax. Absolutely dominant. Sadly cocaine and injuries doomed a sure HOF career.
The giraffe is here
Ok this is the teamup I’ve been looking for
The dagger for the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series was the homer by Strawberry. You could just sense that the Sox were done.
Absolutely. When they win, they win in the most insane ways. Nice job. Looking forward to the documentary!
man, New York owned Baltimore in the late 60s. First the Jets' upset vs the Colts, and then the Mets doing the same vs the Orioles.
AND knicks over bullets!
I don't know if you guys would ever do this, but I'd love to see a video on the 85 Hanshin Tigers. Think of them as the 69 Mets of the NPB. Everything just clicked for them that year, and the managed to beat one of the best teams in NPB history in the Japan Series. If you'd ever wanna do a video on it, I'd be happy to help.
As a Met fan I liked the video, but I'd like to make one correction. The final score of Game 7 of the 1986 World Series was 8-5, not 6-3 as was mentioned.
It's kind of incredible that just about every year the Mets make the playoffs, there's some kind of extra drama to things, always a narrative or story.
1969 - "Miracle Mets"
1973 - Worst division champ winning percentage ever (lots of injuries that year), still beat the Big Red Machine and push the Jackson-era A's to Game 7
1986 - Everything you just heard here.
1988 - 100 win team falls to "Mike @#$%ing Scioscia"
1999 - Dramatic run to Wild Card leads to Game 163, Pratt's series ending walk-off, Grand Slam Single, "Kenny @#$%ing Rogers"
2000 - Subway Series, Piazza vs. Clemens
2006 - Endy Chavez with the catch, near 100 win team falls to "Yadier @#$%ing Molina"
2015 - Insane run to the division crown, Daniel Murphy goes crazy
2016 - Closest thing to normal with a Wild Card game loss, but still an epic Bumgarner vs. Syndergaard duel.
Might just be the nature of playing in a city like New York, but there's always *something* going on with this club when it's good, never a "normal" great season.
And the weirdest part? No other expansion club has more than two World Series titles, so the Mets are tied for the lead. Um...yay? ...Yeah, let's get to adding some hardware ASAP now that the Wilpons are gone.
You left out Johan Santana's no-hitter and Bartolo Colon's home run though.
@@davidharrison3711 Sadly, Johan's no-no was in 2012, and the Mets, uh...weren't great that year, outside of the amazing run R.A. Dickey had.
2022: 101 wins; just missed the division crown. 2-1 series loss to Padres 😮💨
@@PhantomThiefOfSports I'd almost say last year was the least dramatic of the playoff runs, since most of the season was just fairly normal, but a case can be made that their level of play deteriorating as September wore on and that hideous series against Atlanta qualifies.
@@jmn327 I guess the forgotten thing about last year was the Mets breaking the record for being hit by pitches. Aside from that and the lack of trades to help the team down the stretch, you're def right about this being the less dramatic of the 10 playoff years they had
I remember both of those teams. The big difference is that in '69, the Mets came out of nowhere to win it all. They overcame 100:1 odds. In '86, everyone expected them to win it all and they damn near blew it.
As a Yankees fan, I was so happy the Mets beat the Red Sox the way they did and continue the curse of the Bambino.
I was 13. What a time to be alive. EPIC season!! Their slogan was baseball like it oughta be! The bullpen was badass too and gets forgotten a bit because the starting pitching and clutch hitting was just so sick. NYC, mid80s and for a decade the Yankees were second fiddle to the Mets. Woooo!
Awesome video guys. Never disappoint.
No love for Go Mets guy? I still believe he was the real reason the Mets won Game 6 of that series. Not the wild pitch, not Buckner. It was Go Mets guy.
And Bob Stanley
Thank you so much for this
One of my favorite videos I've ever watched
My Dad threw his shoe at his TV and broke it because of the 1986 World Series (he was a Red Sox's fan if you can't tell)
You didn’t mention the mike Scott subplot that cast a huge shadow over the nlcs.
Meet the Wilpons in November....just in time to kiss them goodbye as we Mets fans welcome Steve Cohen!
A lot of people don’t know that Nolan Ryan was on the ‘69 Mets
1969 Tom Weaver's last eight starts where all nine inning complete games. 72 innings pitched allowed 9 runs. That's 8 straight complete games to finish season . Game 4 of Searies Seaver went 10.0 innings giving up one run. Unbelievable!
I really enjoy watching your videos.
As a 12 year old kid and Cubs fan in 1969, I remember this all too painfully. The Cubs were in 1st place all year. Late in the season, they lost like 3 out of 4 to the Mets in Wrigley and then went to NY and lost another series to them. It was a omen of things to come for the next 47 years until 2016 when the Cubs finally did win a WS
great video!
Boston Red Sox: Look! It says we are World Champions
New York Mets: that thing is a liar
A wet dream for the hopeless Mets Fans of this 2020 season
I am one of those hopeless Mets fan 😩
Yup just wait till 2021 and Cohen takes over
For once I’m actually full of hope. In a few months, we can finally say sayonara to the Wilpons once and for all. I’ve been waiting for this ever since I was 8 years old and learned how dysfunctional the ownership was.
@@Joemommas I CAN'T WAIT
@@mbdg6810 ME EITHER!! Most excited I've ever been as a Mets fan. Gonna be the longest off-season too lol
Don’t forget about a young Nolan Ryan on the 1969 Mets pitching staff
Even as a Royals fan, I'm so mad we won the 2015 World Series instead of the 2014 World Series. I would have loved to have seen David Wright win a championship at the expense of the Giants.
Did they mention the 1969 Mets had Nolan Ryan on it?
"Only won two world series"
*cries in Mariners fan*
Yep. Mariners fan here. At least the Mets have gone to the World Series.
The greatness of Pedro and Big Papi finally allowed me enough of a detached perspective to see these moments as truly great!
They were pretty painful at the time though.
Instant goosebumps for that wilpons introduction
Even in another channels video, mark still has to cut every 5 seconds.
Yup, else he'd drool all over the camera
that was driving me nuts. i'm glad someone agrees.
METS VID! Lets go!
'86...I will never forget it. Amazing.
That is such a great video. And absolutely true if they won in 15 it would of beem the perfect 3 Championships
TWO other great moments in Mets' history:
Johann Santana's no-hitter on June 1, 2012, and Bartolo Colon's home run against the Padres.
I love the team from Queens. Let's Go Mets! Watching from London UK.
How happy are you guys that the Mets are getting sold to someone else
Delirious.
The Wilpon Tyranny is over
I like that Thanos-like introduction of the Wilpons at the end there
The 1973 team deserves some love. Though they didn't win the Series, they were the improbable team that year. Well worth a deep look.
I was able to enjoy both World Series wins! I remember how amazing the Mets were a d the attitudes of the fans who were dumbfounded by their win. The 86 Mets were even more amazing by how they never gave up!
The other three that we lost - are nothing to be ashamed of. We lost to great teams who were having a multi-year playoff run. The '73 A's were a powerhouse and went on to repeat the next year. The 2000 Yankees were another powerhouse. And Kansas City had lost the WS the year before they beat us and were an excellent and more complete team than us. We could have destroyed everyone in '99 but they didn't have elite pitching - but we did have one of the greatest infields ever. You guys should do a video on that '99 team, asking where does that infield rank all-around with hitting and defense. Piazza catching and mashing, Olerud was a GG level first baseman and could rake with the best of them. Same for Ventura at 3rd and Alfonzo at second. And to this day Rey Ordonez is still the most incredible shortstop I've ever seen with the glove. If he'd been able to hit he'd be in Cooperstown. Thast infield was CRAZY and never gets enough props. Anyway, if we copy the Braves blueprint of building a real farm system stacked with talent while also having the money to sign any big name free agents - we'll be a problem for a long time. But our whole scouting system needs to be torn down and built back up.
Look into the 1996 World Series. Not talked about a lot. But was very entertaining and started the Yankee dynasty with Jeter and company.
They got lucky. Period.
May Tom terrific rest in peace
omg my dad would always tell the story: when mookie threw himself outta the way of that pitch said he knew it was their year like u shoulda went slow-mo on that play mookie was parallel to the ground like a complete board in the air. Then when buckner let the ball go through his legs my dad started crying....like it was just so insane he said pandemonium. He lived in nyc at the time he said the homeless people were in the streets going nuts he went down and gave them all a beer!!! there was like 5 of them and he bough them a 12 pack of beer lol. damn i truly wish i was alive i just want to see one of my teams win a championship ik i will one day and ik its gonna be as magical as these titles.
As a mets fan this makes me very happy especially because the Mets are statistically very much in the playoff hunt but are Metting it up.
Let’s go Marc!
Aside from the 2016 Cleveland Indians, the 1986 New York Mets are my favorite team in history
Great quality baseball content did by a baseball fan for baseball fans.
That 2015 team broke my heart 💔.... damn you KC
At least your team went to the World Series. As a Mariners fan, I'm still waiting for the Mariners to go to the World Series. And they're currently the only team who hasn't appeared in a World Series.
TheGeoScholar that’s very true the mariners went to a few ALCS and had some great players. At least
Ken Griffey JR
Alex Rodríguez
Edgar Martinez
Randy Johnson
Jay Buhner
Ichiro Suzuki
Félix Hernández
Jaime Moyer
Mike Cameron
Raúl Ibáñez
Adrian Beltre
To name a few hang your head high
The Mets have no one to blame but themselves for losing in 2015. They played like crap. Bonehead plays left and right. The Royals didn’t even play that well themselves. A poorly played World Series all around. So no, not damn you KC. It’s damn you Mets for getting in their own way.
Mets played too tight. KC deserved it.
@@harrynicholes3166 your absolutely right that 2015’ Royals team was not going to loose... shit really hurt cause I thought the Mets were going to win it all
Props for the "Washington Baseball Club" Easter egg 1:35
Won 2 World Series. That's two more 2 more than the Seattle Mariners have ever won. The Mariners are currently the only team in the majors WITHOUT a World Series appearance. I can respect the legacy of the Mets, but I don't really feel bad for the Mets. Mariners fan here. We're still waiting for our team to go to the World Series.
I didn't know Ray Knight was a boxer! That's kickass!!
The 1968 Mets drew 1.7M in attendance which was second in the National League (Cardinals drew 2M and won the WS). They were 4th overall in MLB behind Detroit (the other WS participant in '68) and Boston (who played in the WS in '67). So yeah, the team that finished 1 game out of last place in the NL out drew most of MLB. Slightly more than "200 fans."
Omg my dream video
I was 6 in 1986, my Dad saved the vhs tapes. I watched the tapes all the time growing up.
Shea stadium ROCKED in '86.... The fans were just as great as the team
I was not a Mets fan before 1986. That series changed that. I'm still not a huge Mets fan, but I'm a fan of that year's team. It is still to this day, my favorite World Series that I've ever watched.
Can’t wait for the Wilpon Doc any chance I could be in it I’m a diehard met fan
Rip Tom may he Rest In Peace gone to soon prayers for his family and everyone who knew him
Fun fact, Wally Backmon who was on that team won an independent league title as a manager. Also had a couple of harious elections.😂
Namath's NY Jets were also magical
What amuses me about the 8:21 story is that Darryl Strawberry was actually there with the (relatively) mild-mannered white guys who got arrested (Ojeda, Darling, Tim Teufel and Rick Aguilera) but had called it a night before the shit hit the fan.
86 World Series earn the same notoriety as the NLCS 03 series between the Cubs and Marlins. I called it the Bill Buckner series.
The Mets won two World Series before my time and I've only seen them in the World Series once in my lifetime back in 2015 (I was 2 years old during their 2000 World Series run).
Same here man. On the bright side, we’re finally free of the Wilpons so hopefully our fortunes will change with Steve Cohen
I regret not watching sports in 2015. At least I saw that journey after the fact.
You should do an episode about the Pirates. They’ve basically done nothing since 1979.
Mets fan for life
Ppl forget that Jackie didn’t happen at dodger stadium, not yankee stadium. It happened at Ebbets Field on Long Island
That that that Wilpons don't own the Mets I really can't wait to see the Wilpon video
Few more days!
It's not always about winning the world series... about the mets baby!!! I love the Mets let's go get a home run!!!
I'm a Yankee fan but in a weird way I have a connection with the Mets I was born in 1986 and I'm from Queens and most of my family are met fans so I don't actually hate them great video
LOL how does that happen
I remember that there was a reference in the Dick Van Dyke show about how bad the Mets were, just wanted to put that out there.
THE CURRENT METS'TEAM NEEDS THAT TOUGH PERSONALITY THAT THE 1986 TEAM HAD. BY THE WAY THEY HAD THW BEST GM THE METS HAVE EVER HAD.
Giraffeneck Marc hating the Wilpons?? Would have never guessed it!
RIP Tom Terrific
hey look at that. who would’ve thought not me
I lived through this and the NLCS was amazing and the world series was bonkers.
Just hearing everything about the 69 Mets is pretty crazy ngl, hopefully I get to see a 3rd winner
The ‘86 Mets got sooo lucky in that World Series.
Ehhh, we’ve had terrible luck the rest of the time, we had to get bailed out sometimes
So did the Yanks in '96!
And soooo unlucky in 2015 WS
Matt: "Met's fandom has a kind of pessimistic optimism that can't be found anywhere else"
The Browns: "HELLO WE ARE RIGHT HERE!"
I love giraffe neck but like his team this year is like you know in 4th place
Hope you have a fast recovery!!
I was 10 at the time, started watching the Mets in 1984 and that year & 85 were great too so after 86 Im at a age where I'm thinking the Mets are a dynasty, they gonna be on top forever right? UGGGH
The Mets came so close to winning the series in 1973. They were leading 3-2 going into Game 6, but couldn't seal the deal in the next two games. They actually outscored the A's in the Series, 24-21.
The 86 Mets was a pretty good squad
Giraffe neck “I only do facecam” mark
Wait so like, the Mets only made the playoffs three times in their first 25 seasons, but went to the World Series in all three? That's hilarious.
very Marlins like
Even looking up until now you’re looking at 9 postseason appearances and 5 Pennants all time. Which isn’t Marlins territory but still a pretty good success rate for a team known to be a hard luck franchise
@@armadillolover99 i meant in that playoffs three times in their first 25 seasons, and all WS appearances. Not overall history wise
Hm hm I wasn’t disputing what you said. I was adding to the original point that even if you look at their overall history, it’s not quite there but still pretty impressive how many times they’ve made the World Series
"This clinically depressed fan-base" lmao
GirrafeNeckMarc is so mad the Phillies are going to a 3rd place ream and not a 4th!🤣🤣🤣
I think he'll accept new ownership and a missed playoff over just barely squeaking in and still retaining the Coupons as ownership
thank you for this
i grew up in corona queens blocks away from shea stadium
born in ‘87, never seen my mets win yet but its ok we actually won in 2020 .. how? we got steve cohen lmao
lgm
queens forever
The Marlins also had a higher payroll. They spent millions on the players on their 1997 team alone. The Mets have been in five World Series, which is more than the Marlins.
I feel like this same video could be made about the twins
