Wally Backman in the Hall of Fame? From one diehard Mets fan to another, you must be kidding. A career 13 war player. He missed the Hall by a fair amount.

I'd say the 1997 Indians (even though they didn't win) and the Big Papi-era Red Sox are the only ones that even come close.
And speaking of the Hall of Fame, I can live with Wally Backman not being in the Hall (colorable argument that he didn't have the counting stats), but the fact that Keith Hernandez isn't in the Hall keeps me up at night.
