After a crummy 1975 season, the virtual New York Mets 1976 not knowing what’s to come in 1977. Of course, as we all know in our 2020 world, this is the final full season with Tom Seaver in blue and orange.
My expectations aren’t high for the virtual Mets in 1976. Although they have exceeded expectations in some years, I don’t expect a miracle this time around.
Before we get into things, let’s quickly recap how past seasons have gone:
1962: 52-108
1963: 43-119
1964: 44-118
1965: 50-112
1966: 56-105
1967: 64-98
1968: 74-88
1969: 93-69
1970: 101-61 (NLCS loss 3-2)
1971: 100-62 (World Series Champions)
1972: 80-76
1973: 83-77
1974: 72-90
1975: 75-87
Can we get the team back to a winning season or will there be another wasted year in Flushing in 1976?
