For my first posting on the New York Mets article, I clarified the section 1962-1968: Lovable losers because it wasn’t clear on how the Mets acquired Tom Seaver. Within the posting I just expanded on the origional content by specifying the process in a few sentences. The content I added is “Even though the Mets remained in last place, Tom Seaver was a sign of good fortune to come. He was originally signed by the Atlanta Braves in February 1966 out of the University of Southern California, but his contract was voided by Commissioner William D. Eckert on the basis that the USC season had already started when Seaver signed. In order to resolve this issue, the Mets, Indians, and Phillies were all placed in a hat since they were the only teams willing to match the Braves offer, and the Mets were fortunate enough to win the drawing”.
