NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Fifty years later, it all felt fresh for the 1969 New York Mets.
The out-of-nowhere World Series champions were honored for their lasting legacy Saturday at Citi Field. Fifteen members of the Miracle Mets paraded down Seaver Way in classic cars, received keys to New York City from Mayor Bill de Blasio and told the same unforgettable stories that never get old.
“This will be a million and one,” joked outfielder Cleon Jones.
Not that anybody minded. First baseman Ed Kranepool recalled learning of the moon landing while in Montreal.
