It was a Sunday afternoon baseball game in late September when the New York Mets were fighting for a postseason spot while they were tied with the Milwaukee Brewers for the lone Wild Card spot in the National League. The Mets were coming off a spectacular performance from their ace Johan Santana the day before and were trying not to repeat history from the year prior.
In 2007, the Mets had one of the biggest collapses in all of baseball and it ended with the Florida Marlins defeating the Mets on the final game of the season at Shea Stadium.
