Don’t ask the New York Mets to win a National League East Division
championship—they don’t need it. Twice in seven years, the Mets
scraped into the Wild-Card playoff spot and plowed their way to World
Series victories. While 2004 did not produce a Wild Card position, no
one is counting the Mets out for 2005, with their addition of first
baseman Carlos Delgado and pitcher Al Leiter bolstering the roster. With
the possibility of a playoff berth in mind, fans are still going after
Mets tickets. |

The New York Mets are a
professional baseball team and one of five teams in the East Division of the
National League (NL). The Mets—short for Metropolitans—play at Shea Stadium in
Flushing, New York.
-
The Mets were formed in 1962. That year, the Mets posted a league-worst 40-120
record. The team’s first manager was 71-year-old Casey Stengel. Stengel had led
the New York Yankees to seven World Series championships in the 1940s and 1950s.
Despite Stengel’s leadership and lineups that featured Gil Hodges, Roger Craig,
Richie Ashburn, and Frank Thomas, New York finished at or near the bottom of the
league during the franchise’s first seven seasons, perhaps because their lineups
also featured Choo Choo Coleman and Marv Throneberry. During their first two
seasons the Mets played at the Polo Grounds, the former home of the New York
Giants. The Mets moved to Shea Stadium before the start of the 1965 season.

In 1968 Hodges replaced Stengel
as manager. His young, talented pitching staff included starters Jerry Koosman,
Nolan Ryan, and Tom Seaver (NL rookie of the year) and reliever Tug McGraw. In
1969 the Mets swept past the Chicago Cubs late in the season to win the East
Division title. In the World Series, New York defeated Baltimore to complete one
of the most surprising championship seasons in major league history.
-
Hodges died of a heart attack
before the start of the 1972 season and was replaced by former New York Yankees
star Yogi Berra, who guided the club to a third-place finish. In 1973 the Mets
again became unlikely champions. The team rose from last place to first in the
East Division in the season’s closing weeks by winning 29 of its last 43 games.
Seaver won his second Cy Young Award, and the Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds for
the NL pennant, but New York lost to the Oakland Athletics in the World Series.
