Riding the right arm of Tom Seaver, the New York Mets won an even 100 games during the 1969 regular season, first in the National League East. Seaver led the Majors with 25 wins to go along with his sparkling 2.21 ERA, on his way to winning the NL Cy Young Award. Offensively, Cleon Jones batted .340, while Tommie Agee led the team in home runs (26), RBIs (76) and runs scored (97). After sweeping the Atlanta Braves to win the NLCS, the Mets defeated the Baltimore Orioles, four games to one, to win the World Series.
