Box Score of the Week (POSTSEASON EDITION)

In the immortal words of Yogi Berra: It's like deja vu all over again. 


Like last week, we're featuring a game from the 1973 National League Championship Series pitting the Cincinnati Reds against the New York Mets. Coincidentally, the Mets manager that season was Berra himself!


Anyhow, let's check out the decisive Game 5 of the '73 NLCS


-----------------------------


In winning the 1973 N.L. pennant, the Mets became the first team in MLB history to reach the World Series after being 11 or more games under .500 during the regular season. 


Interestingly, the 2024 Mets were 11 games under .500 on June 2, yet are currently 1-1 in the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
