Its been six years since the New York Mets made it into the post-season, and eighteen years since they’ve won the National League East, but, last night, the boys from Shea became the first team to clinch their division.
NEW YORK (AP) — They soaked themselves in wine and beer, then ran out of their clubhouse to go back on the field, jump up and down some more and share the glee with their fans.
Ending nearly two decades of disappointment in their division and days of delay, the New York Mets brought the NL East title back to Shea Stadium for the first time since 1988 with a 4-0 victory over the Florida Marlins on Monday night.
Then they celebrated as if they had won the World Series.
Well, not yet.
