Two most iconic moments of the series were the Freddy Freeman walk off grand slam, and the Yankee’s fan foul ball robbery of Mookie Betts. I’d almost argue the latter is not only more iconic, but the most iconic baseball moment of the last decade. Like it had people outside of the baseball bubble talking about it in a way only Football and sometimes Basketball gets to the cultural zeitgeist

Mets really want to be the Man City of baseball

Juan Soto is probably the fifth best player in baseball behind

1. Ohtani
2. Judge
3. Witt Jr
4. Mookie Betts
5. Soto

You could make a case for Harper or Lindor above Soto as well. And then Freeman is up there somewhere as well with Vlad out of Toronto

I believe in Soto more than Judge after that playoff run as he has a better eye and can still hit 40 home runs, though the latter’s fielding seems underrated.

Guards are doing their thing, swapping their second basemen for prospects while the American League is there for the taking.
