1970 CINCINNATI REDS vs 1969 NEW YORK METS

1970 CINCINNATI REDS
Record: 102-60
Finish: Won NL Pennant; Lost to Orioles in World Series
Manager: Sparky Anderson
Team ERA: 3.69
Team AVG: .270
Home Runs: 191
Key Players: Johnny Bench C (45 HR 148 RBI), Pete Rose RF (15 HR, .316) Gary Nolan P (18-7, 3.27)

This Reds team that won 102 games deep with talent can compete with anyone. This team was the beginning of a dynasty and has legends like Johnny Bench and Pete Rose in the lineup. Their ability to create runs and close to 200 home runs speak for themselves. Pitching will be the key for them.

1969 NEW YORK METS
Record: 100-62
Finish: Won World Series over Baltimore
Manager: Gil Hodges
Team ERA: 2.99
Team AVG: .242
Home Runs: 109
Key Players: Tom Seaver P (25-7, 2.21), Clean Jones (.340, 75 RBI), Tommie Age OF (26 HR, 12 SB)

The Amazings are a fan favorite of many. Tom Seaver had one of the best season's a starter can possibly have winning 25 games, he anchors a pitching staff that is the strength of this team. The Mets effort in 1969 may have been one of the greatest team effort in MLB history.
