- A Game 4 victory over the Braves to keep their World Series dreams alive.
- Robin Ventura's game winning hit in the bottom of the 15th inning of Game 5 ended one of the greatest playoff games of all-time.
- Down 5-0 in Game 6 the
Mets showed their tenacity and courage as they
fought back to take a lead in a game they
eventually lost in the 11th inning.
