Behind relief pitcher Tug McGraw and his "Ya gotta believe!" rallying cry, the '73 Mets won 21 of their last 29 games, placing them in a peculiar circumstance, their final record of only 82-79 was good enough to win the division. Despite the worst winning percentage ever by a division winner the Mets then shocked the heavily-favored "Big Red Machine" in the NLCS and managed to push the Oakland A's to a seventh game in the World Series. From those "Near-Miracle" Mets comes this trio of team signed baseballs. All three are ONL (Feeney) specimens and are autographed in blue ballpoint by 29 (6/10), 30 (6/10), and 35 (7.5/10) team members respectively. The sweet spots of each are occupied by Willie Mays while others found throughout include: Berra, Seaver, McGraw, Staub, Grote, Millan, Milner, Harrelson, Koosman, Jones, Matlack, and Kranepool. The balls themselves are lightly and evenly toned, with strong stampings. EX.
