Writer Admits Mets World Series Prediction Was a Major Blunder

A New York Post baseball writer has publicly recanted his preseason prediction that the New York Mets would win the World Series, calling it "the worst prediction in sports history." This admission comes after the Mets finished the season with a disappointing 74 wins.

This marks the first time in his 17 seasons covering the team that the writer had picked the Mets to win the championship. He indicated that it might be another 17 seasons before he makes a similar prediction after witnessing the team's performance.

The World Series prediction was the most significant misstep among his preseason calls, which were detailed in the publication's season preview. The writer is using this forum to review his other predictions, both those that proved accurate and those that did not.
