Flashing back to the '69 series
The current Major League Baseball playoffs brings back memories of the most famous Fall Classic I ever attended - the 1969 World Series.
It produced one of the most starling upsets in the history of the Classic as the New York Mets defeated the Baltimore Orioles. The Mets captured four straight games after losing the opener.
The series had so much interest because four players in the 1966 Governor's Cup New York-Penn League champions, the Auburn Mets, played in the series. In fact, Jerry Kooman pitched two victories, including the championship one.
