New York Mets’ Win Ends a 25 Time Streak

Only here will you read that last night’s Mets’ series clinching win ended a 25 consecutive time streak in which the winner of game 4 of a Dodgers’ post season series, won that series.

The streak started with the 1955 World Series, when the Brooklyn Dodgers won game 4 and eventually their only Brooklyn title.

Last night’s result was also a happy one for most remaining old Brooklyn Dodgers’ fans as most became Mets’ fans after the Dodgers moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles.

For the record, the streak included 11 World Series (1955, 1956, 1959, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1988), 10 NLCS (1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1988, 2008, 2009 and 2013) and 4 division series (1981, 2004, 2013 and 2014).

The last time the game 4 winner in a Dodgers’ post-season series lost that series was the 1953 World Series when the vaunted New York Yankees made it an incredible 5 straight titles beating the Brooklyn Dodgers in six games, having lost game four. That is not a happy memory for old Brooklyn Dodgers/now New York Mets’ fans.
