Somebody once said G-d must be a Mets fan..

Actually, during the 1969 World Series, Sandy Koufax (then working as a baseball analyst for NBC's Game of the Week and part of the broadcast team for the World Series, with Curt Gowdy and Pee Wee Reese) asked Tom Seaver if it was true that G-d was a Met fan. "Well, Sandy, I don't know," Seaver replied, "but I think G-d has rented an apartment in New York someplace."

I just saw the cover picture of the 1962 Mets yearbook that you linked to your post. For some reason it didn't show up the first time I read your post. Must be network problems. What a cover!! What memorabilia. It must be worth a heck of a lot of money today.

Before game three, Koufax talked about how dominant Koosman had been in game two in only giving up one run late. Mickey picked the birds to win game three..I was suprised because even though he was an American Leaguer, I figured he'd stick with the hometown team.

I couldn't watch game two because I was attending a Bar Mitsvah that day. I remember constantly running back and forth to where a radio was to get the game updates. Everybody wanted to know the score..lol
