History

Historical Context

In 1969 the expansion New York Mets, after a 120-loss debut season, won the NL East with a 100-62 record and captured the World Series 4–1, the first ever for an expansion club. That dramatic turnaround set a precedent for sudden dominance, a pattern echoed when the St. Louis Cardinals blanked the Mets 7–0 on June 10 2026.
