I grew up in the NY/NJ area back in the late 50's and 60's, and lived there thru the early 80's The Mets were my team as a kid. Seaver, Koosman, the Tugger. 1969 was a beautiful thing! Loved them and there's always a spot in my heart for them. Still follow the Mets even though I've lived in Mn since 82. I'm die hard Twins now, but that's the thing...I'm dying hard watching them.
