The Baseball History of New York Mets Daily News Edition

IT’S THE BOTTOM OF THE 10TH IN GAME 6, and the New York Mets are down to our last out — dead in the water, or so they think. Then Carter singles, Mitchell follows, and suddenly, the air shifts; we’re not done. A wild pitch ties it, and Mookie Wilson steps in, fouling off pitch after pitch until he taps a slow roller to first. The ball rolls, miraculously, impossibly through Bill Buckner’s legs, and Knight scores. Shea erupts, and just like that, we’re not finished … this is unforgettable.

Follow the story of the New York Mets through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from original reports dating back to 1969. This edition charts the team’s history — exactly as it was reported at the time.
