New York Mets Tickets

The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc (nicknamed "Mets" almost from the start, as had been the earlier Metropolitans) began their existence posting a 40-120 record, the worst record for any team in the 20th century.

Beloved by New York fans despite their losing ways, the Mets of the early 1960s became famous for their ineptitude. Thus, when the Mets stunned the sports world with their 1969 championship, the story was regarded as one of history's great turnarounds, giving hope to underdogs and also-rans everywhere.

Since 1986, the New York Mets have managed to make the playoffs three times, including in 1988, 1999 and again in 2000 when they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals to win their fourth ever NL Championship. In the 2000 World Series they were defeated in the much-hyped "Subway Series" by their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees.

Since their appearance in the 2000 World Series the Mets have struggled significantly on the heels of several poor player acquisitions, made by then General Manager Steve Philips, who was fired after the 2003 season. Mr. Philips was credited with building the 2000 World Series team, but also blamed for the demise of the Mets' farm system and the poor play of the acquired players.
After the 2004 season, the Mets named former front office man Omar Minaya as their general manager. Since then, he has helped the Mets recruit stars such as Carlos Beltrán and Pedro Martínez. They would also hire former Mets and Yankees player and former Yankee 3rd base coach Willie Randolph as the new manager.
