The bad fortune of the Mets was forever changed when pitcher Tom Seaver debuted with New York in 1967. By 1969, even the most cynical New Yorkers believed in the young ace. Sporting a 25-7 record, and with his teammates playing inspired defense behind him, Seaver and the Mets stunned the Baltimore Orioles to win the 1969 World Series.
