Mets are beast of NL for second straight season?
by Kwasster07
With the
New York Mets 10-4 whopping of the
Cincinnati Reds today in
Great American Ballpark, the Mets have the best record in the
National League at (77-60) through 167 games. Second to the Mets, is the
San Diego Padres who beat the
Arizona Diamondbacks 10-2 today, to up their record to (76-61), and took control of the NL West lead. In 2006, the Mets finished the season with a record of (97-65), 9 games better than both the Padres and
Los Angeles Dodgers for best record in the NL. If the Mets finish off with the best record in the NL for the second straight season, I assume it will be the first time that the Mets have accomplished this feat.
I'm wondering from you guys to find this out: Who was the last team (whether AL or NL) to finish with the best record two consecutive seasons, and who was the last NL team to do it, if its ever been done, which I'm sure it has. It'll be awesome if you guys could answer this trivia question for me.
