New York Mets: 1923 World Series champions (3rd title)
1921 1922 1923

Mike: Alright, Dog, here we go — the New York Mets are your 1923 World Series champions! Three in a row! Three! Count ‘em — three straight!
Dog: Mikey, this is unbelievable! Down three games to one! Everyone — EVERYONE — had ‘em buried! Cleveland’s sittin’ there thinkin’ it’s a coronation, and what happens? The Mets rip off three straight and shut ‘em out in Game 7!
Mike: Yeah, you can’t say enough about Bobby Colon. The guy was nails, Dog — seven innings, two hits, five strikeouts, no runs. Didn’t even break a sweat. Just a total bulldog performance.
Dog: Bobby Colon! Bobby freakin’ Colon! And how about Alan Sloan — the MVP! The guy’s hittin’ .368 in the series, nine homers in the postseason! He sets the tone early, first inning, boom! Two-out homer off Galvan — Mets go up 2-0 and never look back!
Mike: That home run was the backbreaker. And listen, the Indians — I mean, what are we doin’ here? Two hits in a Game 7 at home? That’s disgraceful. You’ve got 36,000 fans in Jacobs Field, you’ve got a chance to make history, and you put up a zero.
Dog: ZERO! Zee-ro! That’s what champions don’t do! You can’t win with two hits in your own ballpark! They looked flat, Mike, FLAT!
Mike: Flat as a pancake. And the Mets — this is a dynasty now. There’s no question. Three straight titles, best record in the National League, they’ve got the pitching, they’ve got the lineup, they’ve got the swagger.
Dog: It’s a dynasty, Mikey! I don’t wanna hear from anybody else — not Cleveland, not Chicago, not anybody! The Mets are the team in baseball!
Mike: And by the way — J. Stacks? Two hits, two steals, setting the table. Rosa, solid at short. Contreras with another RBI. Everybody contributed.
Dog: And how about Gonzalez closing it out? Two innings, four strikeouts, boom, boom, boom! Ice water in his veins!
Mike: Dog, the Mets just went into Cleveland, Game 7, cold weather, wind blowing out, everything stacked against ‘em — and they blanked ‘em. Three-nothing. That’s greatness.
Dog: Oh, it’s greatness, Mikey. The Mets — YOUR New York Mets — are a dynasty. Three-peat!
Mike: And let me tell ya — you win three straight World Series? You’re in that conversation now. We’re talkin’ all-time teams.
Dog: Put ‘em up there with the best of ‘em! Put ‘em up there with the Big Red Machine, the late-’90s Yankees, whoever you want!
Mike: The 1923 Mets, Dog — remember it. Three in a row. Parade down Broadway, get the confetti ready.
Dog: Oh, baby, it’s party time in New York!
