Sports writer Stan Isaacs and four others stole the 1955 World Series pennant from the Dodgers .

The flag had been sentry at Ebbets Field for all 77 home games during the 1956 season , the only one in which the Brooklyn Dodgers would ever reign as world champions.

It was returned to the Brooklyn Historical Society in 1995 with the help of Peter O'Malley , son of Walter , then in his final years running the Dodgers ..

The Mets ’ loss in the 1988 NLCS still stings Mets fans more than it invigorates Dodgers fans.

“The Flag belongs in Brooklyn ,” Stan Isaacs wrote in 1989 .

Thirty-five years later , the Mets have a chance to add to that quest, that holy mission, the eternal search for vengeance.
