He would be the oldest regular on his new team. In 1968, he led the Mets in home runs with 15. In 1969, he shared third base duties with rookie W GARRETT as a member of the MIRACLE METS team that unexpectedly won the WORLD SERIES, after finishing dead last in five of its first seven seasons and 9th in a 10-team NL in the other two. That year, the Mets had trailed the CUBS by as many as 10 games in the NL EAST (both leagues had split into two divisions after expanding from 10 teams to 12) on August 13. On September 24, they clinched the division with a 6–0 victory over the CARDINALS, with Charles homerinG (his final Major League home run) and CLENDENON homering twice and GENTRY pitching a four-hitter for the victory.Charles played in four of the five games in the World Series, in which the Mets defeated the heavily favored ORIOLES. After losing the first game, the Mets won the next four; Charles scored the winning run in Game Two on an WEIS single in the ninth inning. He was the oldest of the "Miracle Mets" at age 36.After the Series, Charles, whose nickname, "The Glider," came from his third base play and graceful base running, was unconditionally released by the Mets. In his career he batted .263 with 86 home runs and 421 RBIs in 1005 GAMES
