In 1969, man walked on the moon and the 'Amazin’ Mets' shocked the baseball world when they went from basement to penthouse, defeating the heavily-favored Baltimore Orioles in the World Series.
Three members of the 'Miracle Mets,' Ron Swoboda, who made one of the greatest catches in World Series lore when he robbed Brooks Robinson in Game 4, Art Shamsky, who had seven hits in the National League Championship Series to pace the Mets in their victory over the Atlanta Braves, and dazzling shortstop Bud Harrelson share their memories.
On Wednesday, February 4, Yonkers Raceway presents '40 Amazin’ Years' from 7:00-9:00 p.m. The three former players will reminisce about the amazing season, meet and greet fans and sign autographs in Yonkers' Gotham Palace Entertainment Lounge.
Admission is free.
