#49- Swoboda vs. Mora
For newer Saints fans the name Ron Swoboda may not be well known. Perhaps that name may ring a bell in another sport. Yes, Ron Swoboda is the guy that made “the catch” for the New York Mets in 1969. Swoboda made a diving grab in the ninth inning of the World Series to help the “Miracle Mets” win the title.
In New Orleans though, Swoboda was known as a thorn in Jim Mora’s side. Jim Mora was definitely legendary as a coach during his tenor in New Orleans.
