The New York Mets have come a long way since the beginning of this summer. They’ve gone from a laughing stock, on the verge of firing manager Mickey Callaway, to a team sitting just 2.0 games back in the National League Wild Card race.
And with 32 games to play, the Mets are in the position to possibly make a postseason run. If you don’t believe so, alumni from the 1969 World Series team sure do.
“They can do it like we did. You gotta believe in yourself,” retired Met Ed Kranepool said, per Mike Fitzpatrick of the Associated Press.
