THE SEAson story
Four years into their history and the Mets took a step backward, recording their worst winning percentage since 1962, and finishing 47 games out of first place—also their worst mark since ’62. Manager Casey Stengel was replaced by Wes Westrum mid-season, although he wasn’t so much fired as he was replaced by an injury—he got hit by a cab and was hospitalized. Two Met pitchers were 20-game losers again; this time Al Jackson rejoined that sad party, which he had avoided since his rookie season in 1962. But there was some cause for hope. Rookie outfielder Ron Swoboda led the club with 19 longballs, and there were other players enjoying their first taste of big-league life who would eventually contribute much to the Mets’ success, like Bud Harrelson and Cleon Jones and Tug McGraw. Perhaps the ugliest stat the Metsies put up in this woeful year was that they recorded only 28 stolen bases all season, but were thrown out 42 times! Or maybe you would prefer that .277 cumulative on-base percentage, or the .221 team batting average. Once again, these numbers could only go so low ... things would have to eventually start looking up.
