Message: [QUOTE="CA Monk, post: 3494253, member: 5268"] Nobody wins 300 games anymore. Was 16-11 at age 40 as a reliable starter. Terrific. But '69 baby...25-7 and the formerly sad sack Mets beat the vaunted Orioles to win the World Series. First year of divisional playoffs too (beat the Braves I think 3-0) As stated above, the Knicks and Jets all won. I'll even throw in the moon landing and Abbey Road. Yippe-ki-ya. 1969 was the opposite of 2020. I know...rose-colored glasses. Things weren't perfect then either, but a guy can still remember the good, thrilling times as an 8 year old.
