The New York Metropolitans were the laughing stock of MLB in the 1960s. In 1962, their first season of play, the team set a modern record with 120 losses and the succeeding six years were not much better. However, among those losing seasons, important pieces were acquired by the team which allowed for the sudden success of the 1969 season. Managed by Gil Hodges and led by pitchers Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman, the Mets fortunes completely changed in 1969, leading to what many refer to as a miracle.
