September 24, 1969, Torre for
Over 56 thousand came through the gate
A six to four to three double play
Who said the Mets would not rule the day
An unbelievable first as the Mets win the East
It wasn’t that long ago they were the National League least
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 6, 1969, Brave’s Tony Gonzales up to bat
He grounded out to third, now we’ll take that
The Mets win the pennant, oh listen to that crowd
We are number one, number one, say it loud
For the Mets it took just seven years
Now it was joy that was causing the tears
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 16, 1969, Davey Johnson’s turn to sing
He it high and far, oh what a swing
Cleon turned and went to the track
There wasn’t much farther he could go back
The ball fell in his glove then Jones knelt
That was a mighty blow the Orioles were dealt
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 1, 1973, pinch hitter Glenn Beckert was given a chance
Maybe the Cubs could spoil the dance
With a runner on first and one man out
A line drive to first would have no doubt
Milner ran to the bag for the double play
The Mets win the division on the season’s last day
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 10, 1973, McGraw on the hill
The Big Red Machine was to go for a spill
With two men out and three ducks on the pond
Tug would get Dan Driessen to hit on the ground
Milner raced in and fielded it then flipped to McGraw
You gotta believe, but the Pennant was all
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
September 17, 1986, oh what a year
The Cub’s
He hit one to Backman who threw over to Keith
The Mets win their third division title, what a relief
That year the Mets won one-hundred and eight
The most dominating performance in Mets history to date
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 15, 1986, one of the greatest games ever
The Mets trailed the Stros in the ninth, never say never
They tied up the game then played into the night
Neither team gave up; they gave it a great fight
It lasted sixteen, Orosco faced Bass
One, two, strike three, the Mets won it at last
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 27, 1986, game seven with the Sox
The Mets fell behind; they could not get out of the box
Fernandez came in and played with their mind
The Mets did their thing and put
Big hits by Knight and Strawberry gave the Mets faithful light
Then Jesse Orosco threw his glove into the night
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
September 22, 1988, Ron Darling pitched all nine
The Phillies had no chance, everything was fine
With two men down and Larry Parrish at bat
Ron got him to swing and it was over like that
The Mets second division title in three campaigns
But it went no further because Mike Scioscia did reign
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 4, 1999, a one game play in for the wild card
Al Leiter pitched great; it did not even look hard
The Reds proved no match for the Mets that cold night
When it was over they sipped and then had to take flight
To
Their very first divisional series the very next day
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 9, 1999 it went extra frames
Todd Pratt took a swing sending the DBacks to flames
Steve Finley jumped and thought he had caught it
But looked in his hand and saw nothing but mitt
On to the pennant, oh give us Mylanta
Not even Robin’s grand slam single could oust that
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
September 27, 2000 Rick Reed started this one
When it was over the Mets had it won
Their second wild card finish they did clinch
And against the mighty Braves, it looked like a cinch
Benitez came in and got a nice save
Bobby V was happy, the crowd did the wave
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 8, 2000, Bobby Jones’s greatest day
As a Met all the critics would say
He shut out the Giants, not even a run
Jones gave up one hit and the Giants were done
The fans at big Shea belted out loud cheers
Only one Mad Dog Russo was driven to tears
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
October 16 2000, this time it was
To make the opposition, the St. Louis Cardinals burn
He shut out the Cards like Bobby before
Mike went the distance, closing the door
On this night the Mets raised the flag
Of their fourth NL Pennant, it was in the bag
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
September 18, 2006,
He only gave up three hits, the magic is back
Valentin hit a pair, comback player of the year?
Floyd made the catch, fourty-six thousand cheer
They played hard all season what a great campaign
Their fifth division title, now cue the champagne
Let the
We hugged, screamed and hollered, let the
