So, having won an additional division title in 1971, but following it with a disappointing 1972 season, we are now come to the first real test: 1973, when the Mets surprisingly pulled from behind and won the NL pennant - albeit with a record just over .500, and defeated the Big Red Machine to win the NLCS. They went on to take the powerful As to 7 games before losing the Series.

So, IF we win the NL pennant in 1973, I will be ahead of the RL Mets. If not, even two division wins don't add up to a league pennant and I will consider myself behind the curve, but with all the time up to 1986 to make it up by winning two between '73 and '86.

Let's see how 1973 goes:
