The Amazing Mets

The New York Mets were founded in 1962 as an expansion team. For the first seven years of their existence, they were the laughingstock of baseball. They lost more games than any other team in the league and were constantly the butt of jokes.

But in 1969, everything changed. The Mets, led by a young and talented team, began to play with a new confidence. They won 100 games that season, the most in the National League, and went on to upset the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.

The Mets' victory was a stunning upset. The Orioles were one of the best teams in baseball, and they had won the World Series the previous year. But the Mets refused to be intimidated. They played with heart and hustle, and they never gave up.

The Mets' victory was a victory for all underdogs. It showed that anything is possible if you never give up on your dreams.

The Super Jets

The New York Jets were founded in 1960 as an expansion team. Like the Mets, the Jets struggled in their early years. They only had one winning season in their first eight years of existence.

But in 1968, the Jets hired a new coach named Weeb Ewbank. Ewbank was a tough and demanding coach, but he also knew how to get the most out of his players.

Under Ewbank's leadership, the Jets began to improve. They went 11-3 in 1968 and won the Eastern Division championship. In 1969, they went 10-4 and repeated as Eastern Division champions.

The Jets' success was due in large part to their outstanding defense. The Jets had one of the best defenses in the league, and they were able to force turnovers and make big plays at key moments.

The Jets' victory was a victory for all underdogs. It showed that anything is possible if you never give up on your dreams.
