Nice job G!

[Guest attgig]

sweetness! congrats!

[metirish]

I always learn something from reading Greg's work, like the three Mets 69ers out of 25 that went on to more WS glory.


edit for my mistake

Outstanding! Seaver came a strike away from joining that club in 1986 -- and I would have been rooting for him to get that had he been opposing just about any other team!

[G-Fafif]

Thanks all! Space considerations stripped the piece of its Seaver mention as well as a few other goodies (Jerry Grote: only 1969 Met to make the WS in the 1970s after 1973; Ron Taylor's favorite ring of them all; Taylor's club winning the second World Series against a team managed by the man Ryan was trded for; Bud Harrelson going the Ryan route and winning a championship as a co-owner, albeit of the Atlantic League), but I'm happy to have gotten the gist of it in.

Yeah, great work. Good angle.

Also worth including in the long version --- if bitterly --- are Yogi's additional rings with the Yankees.

And less bitterly, Gil's 2 with the Dodgers.

Good job, G!!
