Since the picture on the box was too small for me to read and the product description didn’t tell me anything I wanted to know, I contacted A&E to find out which games are included in this collection. Here is their response:
DISC 1: 1969 World Series Game 4 vs Baltimore Orioles–Tom Seaver’s 10-inning win was a decisive point of the ’69 World Series as the Mets upset the heavily favored Orioles.
DISC 2: 1986: National League Championship Series Game 3 vs Houston Astros–This come-from-behind bottom-of-the-ninth victory ended with Lenny Dykstra’s famous walk-off home run.
DISC 3: 1986: World Series Game 6 vs Boston Red Sox–Considered “Baseball’s greatest game”, this improbable 10th-inning, miracle two-out comeback reached its climax with Mookie Wilson’s swing and “…here comes Knight and the Mets win it!”
DISC 4: 1999: National League Championship Series Game 5 vs Atlanta Braves–Robin Ventura’s “grand slam single” won this 15-inning game endurance test.
DISC 5: Sept. 21, 2001: Regular season vs Atlanta Braves –The emotionally charged first game in New York City after the 9/11 terrorist attacks was electrified by Mike Piazza’s 8th inning 2-run home run.
DISC 6: May 19, 2006: Inter-League vs New York Yankees–David Wright’s walk-off hit snatched victory away from the cross-town rival Yankees in this classic see-saw battle.

Simply put, it is a must have for any New York Mets fan. While I wish there was more drama and build up to some of the excerpts – Todd Pratt’s walk-off homerun against the Diamondbacks as an example – I couldn’t be more pleased with the purchase. It will be something I can use to look back on the past and remember with fondness, as well as something to get me through the rough times when the present isn’t going so well…

This DVD is missing some great moment in history like 69 and 73, but I’m a Mets fan and I enjoyed what they had. Felt a little cheated that it wasn’t complete. Maybe that’s why they didn’t list what is on the DVD. Anyway, if you’re a Mets fan you should check out Mathematically Alive. Great movie about what it means to be a fan and how serious people take the sport. Very interesting and I like that it went beyond the fans and the game and explored the psychological aspects of fandom with a sport psychologist.
