Mets Win 1969 World Series in Dramatic Finale
The New York Mets defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-3 to clinch the 1969 World Series in four games to one. Cleon Jones was hit by a pitch that umpire Lou DiMuro initially ruled foul, changing the call after a Hodges confrontation with the ball. Ron Swoboda’s eighth inning double sent Jones home for the go-ahead run, sealing a legendary sports saga from a franchise that began in 1962 with modest prospects.
