[edit] History
The New York Mets were deep in pitching talent in 1969, with Tom Seaver (25-7, 2.21) and Jerry Koosman (17-9, 2.58) spearheading the staff. Their offense wasn't as potent as the Braves, with Tommie Agee leading the offense with 25 home runs and 76 RBIs. The Mets had a tougher time winning the division. As late as September 2nd, the Mets were 5 games behind the Chicago Cubs. But then, starting September 3rd, the Cubs lost 11 of 12 games, while the Mets won 11 of 13, vaulting the young club to a 4 1/2 game lead that they wouldn't give up and would only make bigger. The Mets won the division by eight games.
