10/15/1965 - Number 13 in the books
From expansion to World Series in 4 years the New York Mets became the 13th World Series champion. It's always fun to take a team from nothing and get to build them up. After three bad years things finally jelled this year, which was fun to see.
I expected a .500 team, but our pitching finally came together and we made a big improvement in year 4.
