New York Mets practice World Series celebration after defensive drill

The New York Mets are hoping that positive thinking can manifest their dreams of a World Series title.

On a Wednesday with no spring training games on the calendar, the Mets set up a drill called the 27-outs game, which requires a team to record 27 outs without making an error. With coaches Luis Rivera and Tony Tarasco taking turns hitting fungoes around the field, the Mets' defense recorded out by out.

With one out left in the game, Tarasco set up a situation where the Mets were in Game 7 of the World Series needing one out to win.
