One year the Mets won their division just barely being above .500. I'm going to say it was '88, but I am far from sure.

Far from sure you should be, they won 100 games in '88.

 

1973 they won the division only 3 games over .500

Uh, they all played on the 68 Yankees together, so I'm sure it has something or another to do with that

Yes but the real answer is what is significant about the '68 Yankees?

They were pretty bad back in those days. It isn't worth researching to see if that was the worst season in Yanks history or whatever, but they did suck.

They were bad, but they were significant for one reason.
