I was listening to a podcast that started talking about the worst sports losses of all time, and it got me thinking about the Mets version. Here are some that come to mind, and remember my Mets watching starts in 1977 so if you guys want to talk about the 1973 World Series or something you are welcome to join in on the discussion. There is no right or wrong but here’s my list.
Terry Pendleton. September 11th was etched in my brain before 2001…this one was 1987, I was there and it was THE WORST. You know it’s memorable when I can just say Terry Pendleton.
The rest of these are in no particular order. Scioscia. Again, all I have to do is say Scioscia and if you were alive you know what I mean. I was there. You kids should look up 1988.
Glavine. I’m glad he wasn’t devastated. I was.
Yankees win the World Series AT SHEA. Kill us.
Last Game At Shea. The loss was bad enough, but the Mets making us sit there for half an hour before the ceremony when all we wanted to do was leave, except for the pesky ceremony…..awful. I was there for that one too.
These are the Mets, I’m sure there are lots and lots of other horrible losses. What else did I forget?
