60 Years of the New York Mets
I watched the Mets Old Timer's Day even yesterday and it got me thinking that it might be fun to do a full franchise replay. I've got it set up to do historical transactions, etc. I didn't do historical lineups, so if someone looks better to the AI manager, they will play more.
It will be interesting to see if 62 will be as bad, if 69 is another miracle, if 86 can win it all without (or maybe with?) the help of Bill Buckner, etc. I'll keep it going as long as I can!!
I plan to do updates at the start of each season. Then in-season updates will depend on what is happening and what year it is. 1964, for example, will likely not get a lot of updates.....but 1973 probably will! I'll cover any playoff appearances pretty closely and then wrap things up. I'm going to try not to include much about the rest of the league....a few highlights, but that's it. That always gets me into rabbit holes I can't get out of!
1962 coming right up!
