The listing, 1973 NL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES GAME 5 METS Ticket has ended.
It's a bit late to make it to the Game (by 38+ years), and this was used anyways; but it was a Winner! as the METS finished off the Cincinnati Reds 7 - 2 to advance to the 1973 World's Series against the Oakland Athletics. Shea Stadium was home to the METS from 1964 to 2008, after which it was dismantled. The 1973 National League Championship Series was played between the New York Mets and the Cincinnati Reds from October 6 to October 10. New York won the series three games to two and advanced to the World Series, where they lost to the Oakland Athletics in what was the second of three straight world championships for Oakland.
The 1973 NLCS was marked by a fight that broke out in the fifth inning of the third game, beginning with a tussle between Cincinnati's Pete Rose and New York's Bud Harrelson at second base. Players from both sides joined in a general melee that lasted for several minutes and set off rowdy fan behavior at Shea Stadium in New York.
New York Mets vs. Cincinnati Reds
New York won the series, 3–2.
