1986 New York Mets win MLB’s virtual ‘Dream Bracket’
Bob Ojeda throws a gem to shut down the 2001 Mariners and secure another championship for the 1986 New York Mets.
It’s all over folks. MLB’s second rendition of the “Dream Bracket,” which pits 64 of the most historic teams in history against one another in a simulated bracket, crowned the 1986 New York Mets champions.
The ‘86 Mets were pushed to seven games against the ‘01 Seattle Mariners, but edged out the 116-win team to win the simulated bracket simulated via the video game “Out of the Park Baseball 21.” Bob Ojeda hurled eight shutout innings, which gave way for Jesse Orosco to sit down the final three batters and secure the illustrious simulated championship.
