The New York Mets are the worst team in baseball. Are outside forces to blame?

Baseball has always been a sport that believes in the occult — in juju and curses and superstitions. That type of thinking can be traced to the game’s origins, more than a century ago. To this day, players and fans still believe that outside forces can conspire for or against them, that actions taken off the field can somehow affect the result of the game. None more so than the New York Mets.
