The New York Mets defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-0 to win their first ever National League Eastern Division title. Gary Gentry defeats Steve Carleton for the division clincher. Joined in progress in the top of the 9th inning with two on base, Gary Gentry strikes out Vada Pinson. Joe Torre grounds into a double play and at 9:07pm The New York Mets win their first National League Championship in franchise history. In the clubhouse Lindsey Nelson and Ralph Kiner interview over three dozen players and executives representing the 1969 New York Mets. NOTE: While this game is extant as a radio broadcast with Bob Murphy calling the final out (You tube 2:28:31) this New York WOR television channel 9 broadcast is peerless with announcer Lindsey Nelson calling the final out and proclaiming the New York Mets as first time National League Eastern Division Champions. Also, the radio broadcast covers only a limited amount of post game interviews in the New York Mets clubhouse celebrating their victory with interviews conducted by Ralph Kiner and Lindsey Nelson (17 additional interviews with TV coverage, including those with Yogi Berra, Tug McGraw, Joe Pignatano, Eddie Yost, Wayne Garrett, Al Weis, Ed Kranepool, George Weiss, others). The 1969 New York Mets played 162 games during the regular season, won 100 games, lost 62 games, and finished in first position. They played their home games at Shea Stadium where 2,175,373 fans witnessed their 1969 Mets finish the season with a .617 winning percentage.
