Re: Rank the Mets\' collapse

In 1994 the Expos had a pretty big lead in August and failed to make it [/ QUOTE ] Didnt they cancel the World Series that year because of the strike? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Rank the Mets\' collapse
BP says it would be the second worst collapse of all time (speaking from odds to make the playoffs --> out).

Re: Rank the Mets\' collapse
[ QUOTE ]
mike, minor details. [/ QUOTE ] In case this isnt a level...from Wiki The rest of the season, including the World Series, was called off by Bud Selig on September 14. Selig acknowledged that the strike had torn an irreparable hole in the game's fabric. The move to cancel the rest of the season meant the loss of $580 million in ownership revenue and $230 million in player salaries. In 1994, the average MLB salary was an estimated $1.2 million. [edit] Reaction The then-Montréal Expos' best season in their history was interrupted by the strike. They had the best record in baseball, 74-40, and were six games ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East despite having the second-lowest payroll in the Majors (only the San Diego Padres had a smaller payroll). Some baseball writers were considering the Expos as major World Series contenders.
