The tiny upstate New York city of Little Falls (pop. 6,156 in 1980) hosted the New York Mets short-season Class A farm club from 1977 until 1988. In 1984, the Little Falls Mets won their own New York-Penn League crown, defeating the Newark Orioles in a husband-versus-wife championship series. Peter “Woody” Kern owned the Little Falls Mets while his wife Susan was the nominal owner of the Newark club.
