We look back at the 1969 "Miracle Mets" this week with our guest Rod Gaspar.  Rod was the starting right fielder at the beginning of the season replacing Art Shamsky who was injured.  The Mets were 5 games behind the NL East leading Chicago Cubs on September 1 and made a furious run for the NL East crown down the stretch.  This was the first year of Divisional Playoffs and the Mets had to face the NL West champion Atlanta Braves.  The Mets swept the Braves in 3 games, then went on to beat the Baltimore Orioles in 5 games to win the World Series.  Listen to Rod Gaspar tell it like it was Back When There Was Baseball.
