Alright, let me tell you what I did today. I had this itch in my brain about the New York Mets, specifically their World Series wins. It’s funny, you follow a team for ages, but sometimes the exact details get fuzzy, you know? So, I figured I’d sort this out properly.
First thing, I sat down and just thought for a second. I knew they definitely won it, wasn’t imagining things. But when? The late 60s popped into my head, that ‘Miracle Mets’ thing. And then another one later, maybe the 80s? It felt right, but I needed to be sure.
Getting Down to It
So, I went over to my computer. Didn’t feel like messing with the phone for this. Fired it up, waited for everything to load. Then I opened up a browser window. Simple stuff.
I typed something like “mets world series championships” into the search bar. Hit enter. Naturally, a ton of stuff came back. News articles, fan pages, official baseball sites, the works. I started clicking through a couple of the results. Some were just walls of text, way too much detail about specific games. Wasn’t looking for a play-by-play, just the years.
I refined my search a bit, maybe added “list of years” or something similar. That helped filter things down. Found a couple of pages that looked promising, more like simple fact lists.
The Findings
Okay, here’s what I confirmed after digging around for a few minutes:
- The first win: Yep, my memory wasn’t totally shot. They got their first World Series title back in 1969. That was the big surprise team, the ‘Miracle Mets’ everyone talks about.
- The second win: And the other one I was thinking of? That was 1986. Remember that Buckner moment? Yeah, that series.
So, two times. 1969 and 1986. That’s it. Took a little bit of sifting through search results, skipping past the opinion pieces and deep dives into player stats, but I got the straight facts I was looking for.
It feels good to have that locked in my head correctly now. Cleared up that little bit of mental fog. Just a simple check, but satisfying to do it myself and confirm. That’s the process, anyway. Just digging until you hit the solid info.
