Lay off the 1978 Red Sox. That team won 99 games, *second most* in baseball, and won its last EIGHT games in a row just to make the one-game extension. History has been incredibly unfair to that team, but the story has been told so many times, it's easy for everyone to parrot.

I'm not making a judgement about them, but didn't they have a rather large lead in the summer. I'm seeking knowledge and info from more seasoned baseball fans for a perspective on how big of a collapse the Mets had.

I'd rank the collapse of the Soviet Union and maybe the video game Collapse ahead of the Mets, but otherwise, it would be #1.

It was Greg Norman at the Masters-esque. Isn't that the worst of all time in any sport?
