Oh yeah, Seaver, Koos, Tommie, Cleon, Bud, Nolan, Grote and the rest of the ‘69 Miracle Mets said to say hi!!! (Sorry South, I couldn’t resist! LOL!!!!) Greatest upset in W/S history! If those two teams had squared off, (somehow, fantasy or whatever), in a 162 head to head battle with both squads going full throttle each game, the Birds would have whipped ‘em 100-62. Long time admirer of Gil Hodges so I was happy for him that many moon ago Oct. of 1969.
