The virtual New York Mets finished off the 1970s on a down note with a last place finish in Major League Baseball.

We conclude the 1970s with what I expect to be another poor year for the virtual New York Mets. After all, they are now without Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and many other franchise favorites and legends.
