Baseball season is fast approaching. I like the Mets. When the Mets won the World Series in 1969 they were dubbed, ‘the Amazing Mets’. Up until that year, the Mets didn’t have one winning season to their credit. The team they were facing in the series, the Baltimore Orioles, who had won 109 games that year, were heavy favorites. No one thought the Mets would win more than one game. Instead, it was the Orioles who would win only one game. But, however amazing the Mets were, there’s something even more amazing than the Mets. No, it’s not the Yankees; it’s Jesus.
