60 years ago this morning was the first time you could open a New York newspaper and see the Mets with a better won-loss record than the Yankees. And the Mets' pitcher that delivered the win that did it was Warren Spahn, the winningest lefty in history.

I’m taking virtual trips back in time to experience music from the 60’s precisely 60 years ago.
I post stories and video links when there is something momenotous.
60 years ago last night The Byrds made their first live TV performance of Mr. Tambourine Man. It's a historic moment on music as it created a new genre - folk rock. themusictimetraveler.substac…

This is one of my favorite articles I’ve ever written. 50 years after I watched it live, it still stirs my imagination, the drama of the event still seems palpable. I’d love to hear your feedback.

Now I have re-lived the experience via my virtual time travels and I’m sharing the highlights.

In my latest article in The Sports Time Traveler™ I reveal an amazing finding. Champion boxer Joe Louis made the cut at the 1952 Tucson Open, thereby becoming the only champion athlete ever to make the cut in a PGA event. lenferman.substack.com/p/195…
It's one of the greatest mantras ever, the 1973 Mets slogan, "Ya Gotta' Believe," and I have found the 1st time it was ever in print. I couldn't be more excited about this. lenferman.substack.com/p/you…
50 years ago last weekend, 17 year old Bjorn Borg had a jaw dropping minute at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships. I called it the "Sensational Sequence." See it and read about it here: lenferman.substack.com/p/ash…
