The Mets have a chance to play in October and have perhaps their best November ever.
The Mets have made a strong push to reach the playoffs for the 10th time. But what they have never done in their history is win two of the big four awards — MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year — in the same season. In fact, they have received votes in all the categories in the same year eight times and on six occasions had top-10 finishes — five coming during the best run in franchise history 1984-88 and the other in 2016.
