They made a BIG mistake

[(Anonymous)]

The New York Mets didn't even EXIST in 1954 - their 1st season was 1961 or 1962, and their 1st Series win was 1969.

Had to be the Yankees or Giants.

The browns also could not have won the NFL championship in this '54. There was no super bowl yet, and they would have been in the AFL if I'm not mistaken.
