What is the value of a 1969 authentic NY Mets baseball signed by Gil Hodges and the whole team?
A 1969 New York Mets Team Signed Baseball with the key signatures: Hodges, Kranepool, Swoboda, Harrelson, Ryan, Seaver, and Koosman is worth about $850.-$2,000. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Prices may also vary based on the amount of signatures, and key signatures acquired. The more complete the baseball with key signatures the more valuable. In a recent auction a 1969 New York Mets Team Signed ONL (Giles) baseball sold for $518. Low price but nothing to worry about. It happens. This will always be a special season for Met fans when the underdog "Amazin Mets" won the series. The ball should hold it's value for years to come. If the signatures are not properly authenticated the baseball could sell at half the market value or less.

The Braves by the score of 4-0. Tim Hudson was the winning pitcher and Tom Glavine was the loser.
The New York Mets have had three homes; the Polo Grounds (1962-1963), Shea Stadium (1964-2008), and Citi Field (2009-present). The Polo Grounds is one of the most significant stadiums in sports and has been the home to, besides the Mets, New York Giants (MLB) (1890-1957), New York Yankees (1913-1922), New York Giants (NFL) (1925-1955), and the New York Jets (1960-1963). The second home, Shea, is the Mets best known stadium and what fans think of when they hear "Mets Home". Shea also housed the Jets (1964-1983), Yankees (1974-1975) and Giants (NFL) in 1975. The current home of the Mets is Citi Field in Flushing Meadows, Queens.

Carl Pohlad owned the Twins before he died in 2009. His sons, Bob, Jim, and Bill are now equal owners of the Twins.

Bob Friend, a future Met, started and won for the Pirates. Willie Stargell of the Pirates hit the only HR in the game.
After another loss the next day, the Mets won the third game played at Shea behind Alvin Jackson's 6 hit shutout.
After a series of rainouts, the 4th game at Shea was played. Although the Mets lost to the Cubs, Ron Hunt hit the first Mets HR against Dick Ellsworth in the 8th inning.

The Mets won 108 regular season games, but were one strike away from being eliminated in the World Series, before their unprecedented comeback. # 1988: Lost to the League Championship Series to the Dodgers, 4 games to 3, as Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser and MVP Kirk Gibson had legendary moments. # 1999: In third place in the Wild Card race, 2 games back with 3 to play, the Mets came back, beat the Reds in a one game playoff for the Wild Card, beat the Diamondbacks on a walk-off tenth inning homer to win the NLDS, and then had some great comebacks against the Braves in the LCS, ultimately losing game 6 on a walk-off walk. # 2000: Won the Wild Card, beat the Giants in the NLDS and the Cardinals in the NLCS, before falling to the Yankees in the Subway Series, 4 games to 1. # 2006: Swept the Dodgers in the NLDS, lost Game 7 of the NLCS to the Cardinals, with Carlos Beltran frozen by an 0-2 curveball with the winning run on first.
