New York Mets

The New York Mets play at Citi Field in Queens, offering National League baseball to a city dominated for decades by the Yankees. Known for the "Miracle Mets" spirit and a passionate, sometimes long-suffering fan base, the team's orange-and-blue colors pay homage to both the Giants and Dodgers who once called New York home. The Mets have produced some of the most dramatic postseason moments in baseball history. Flushing has become a hub of loud, emotional National League baseball.

Formed as a 1962 expansion franchise, the Mets became an instant national story with the "Miracle Mets" of 1969, who won the World Series just seven years after the team's inaugural, 120-loss season. The 1986 Mets won a second title in dramatic fashion, aided by Bill Buckner's Game 6 error against Boston. The franchise has also reached the World Series in 2000 and 2015 without a title in those years. Two championships and a flair for the dramatic define the Mets' history.
