Happy Anniversary

Yesterday, October 16, marked the 40th anniversary of when The Mets Shocked The World, and became World Champions.

To commemorate that magical summer, we here at 24 Hours have made a video tribute not just to the Mets, but to the Summer of '69.

A special thanks goes out to Life Magazine - Never Before Seen Pictures Of The 1969 Mets, which provided some of the great pictures of Buddy Harrelson, Donn Clendenon, Tom Seaver, Jerry Grote, and Gil Hodges, just to name a few.

Feel free to leave a comment about our video:

great pictures and love the shameless plug at the end :)
Also love seeing Charles Manson as Adams belts out those were the best years of my life!

Great stuff!

I realized that after finishing up, and I thought the macabre irony was worth leaving. All I did is take the events in historical/chronological order: Moon Landing, Helter Skelter, Woodstock, and Mets Championship.

As for the shameless plug, If we can't do it, then who can? LOL.
