About this listen

Mets legend Jon Matlack joins Jay Horwitz to revisit the 1973 pennant race, his NLCS Game 2 two-hit shutout in Cincinnati, and the emotions around the World Series. Matlack shares what he learned from Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman, how to handle New York pressure, and practical advice for today’s rookie arms — Nolan McLean, Brandon Sproat, and Jonah Tong — as they pitch in high-leverage spots. Plus: Willie Mays’ impact in the clubhouse and the story of Matlack returning to the mound just 10 days after a scary liner to the head. If you love Mets history, postseason mindset talk, and behind-the-scenes leadership, this one’s for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
