When the Mets swept the Nationals in early August, the excitement started to build. When they swept the Nats in early September, belief set in. When they clinched the NL East in late September, the focus shifted to the NLDS. When they disposed of the Dodgers in five games in the NLDS, it was euphoric. When they swept the Cubs in the NLCS, we started to dream. Starting tonight, the Mets have a chance to turn that dream into a reality.
The Mets are about to kick off the World Series against the Royals in Kansas City, something some fans saw as plausible before the season, but few fans thought would actually happen.
