The 1969 Mets still maintain a special place in New York sports history. The Miracle Mets are one of the best stories in baseball history, too. This month marks the 50th anniversary of their stunning turnaround from laughing stock to World Series champions.
In the latest episode of the “30 With Murti” podcast, outfielder Ron Swoboda recounts the Mets' rise to the top, including his highlight reel catch in the World Series against Baltimore, still one of the most iconic moments in Mets history.
Swoboda also talks about playing with the Yankees in the early 1970s alongside a young Thurman Munson, as well as his thoughts on the latest Mets phenom, Pete Alonso.
