50 years ago, the Mets won their first World Series, beating Baltimore in five games.
An immediate reward following the victory parade down New York's Canyon of Heroes was an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, and performing "You Gotta Have Heart", which is better known from the Broadway musical and movie, "Damn Yankees". How ironic is that?
Sullivan was still writing a column for the NY Daily News while doing his variety show, so I wonder if he plugged the appearance in his column......
