One Final Chance To Win, Mets At Cubs, 30th September 1962
About this episode
As the regular season of 1962 comes to a close, the New York Mets have already claimed a daunting record… the most losses in a season.
Having passed the Athletics 1916 record of 117 losses on September 23rd, the Mets headed to Wrigley Field for the final game of the season with a record of 40-119 (plus one tied game). Could the players find a bit of honor to close out the debut season with a win, or would they reach the talismanic mark of 120 losses?
Bob Murphy, supported by Ralph Kiner and Lindsey Nelson, calls the game on WABC.
