Owner goal for 1962 Mets: "Upgrade at SS" !
So I started a new historical league in 1961, simmed through the season without a job and got to the expansion draft at which I point I took over the Mets (by the way 1961 Killebrew had 56 HR and Maris 49, Detroit beat SF in the World Series).
BEFORE the expansion draft, and so BEFORE we (the newly founded Mets) have ANY players, the owner writes me with our goals. Goal 1 is reasonable enough: "Don't suck completely". Goal 2 is "Upgrade at Shortstop". Who does he think we have at SS, Snoopy?
