I remember 1969 very well as I was 13, living in Atlanta GA a fierce Giants fan but my second fave team at the time was the Mets! What an exciting year it was in baseball with the Mets coming from 9 down late in the season to pass the Cubs, sweep the Braves in 3 and then beating the Orioles in the World Series. That was the Year baseball became my most enjoyable sport and remains to this day. I attended many games that year in Fulton County Stadium. I saw the Mets and Tom Seaver pitch. The Cards and Bob Gibson and the Giants and Gaylord Perry. I watched my boyhood hero Willie Mays hit homers and the Braves turn a triple play against the Cubs starting with runners on second and third! What a great year it was, I was Bar Mitzvah' d too! It was also the first year of the divisional playoffs too. In school we got to watch the Braves lose to the Mets in the divisional playoffs!! Good times for sure.
