Over the span of their existence, the New York Mets have treated their devoted fans to a fair share of pain, disappointment and misery. Yet, they are still our beloved Amazins, who delivered the unforgettable gifts of 1969 and 1986. But, could they have given us more?

I'm about to try and find out, embarking on a Mets Dynasty that will launch from where it all began...the Polo Grounds in 1962.

A quick review of the organization finds very little to get excited about. We have a couple teenagers in the minors worth watching in Paul Blair and Ed Kranepool, but the inaugural big club is ripe with old guys who won't be around long enough to see Shea Stadium open.

So, we hope to build through the draft, noting that Joe Morgan will be available for our first one in the offseason. But that is a long ways off. For now, we hope to be entertaining and improve on the 40-120-1 showing the Mets produced IRL back in '62.

Come along for the ride.
