About New York Mets

Life isn’t easy in the shadow of a bigger, richer, more successful older brother and the New York Mets have shared their city for over a half century with the biggest hitters of all, the crosstown powerhouse New York Yankees. This has often made the poor ol’ Mets into something of a punchline in their own city. David Letterman once joked that during the 1994 baseball strike, one of the top demands by players around the league was that they would get to play “more games against the Mets.” After the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants relocated to the West Coast (LA and San Francisco) the Big Apple was left without a National League baseball team and so the Mets (short for Metropolitan) came into existence in 1962. They had a rough start, setting a new record for the worst season of all time with a shocking 40-120 record, but in 1969 the “Miracle Mets” defeated several highly-favored teams in the postseason en route to beating the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. The Mets reached another World Series in 1973 but fell in a heartbreaking Game Seven to the Oakland Athletics. After a period of struggling, the team then made a pair of superb draft picks in the early 1980s, selecting heavy hitter Darryl Strawberry and ace pitcher Dwight Gooden to bolster their squad. They won their division in 1986 and pushed on all the way to the World Series, where they beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 in a nailbiter of a series that saw them come within a single strike of dropping Game Six to their opponents. Their next appearance in a World Series was not until 2000, but it was worth the wait, as a showdown with their crosstown rivals the Yankees that was dubbed the “Subway Series.” Unfortunately for the Mets, they lost the World Series in five games, as they did again in 2015 to the Kansas City Royals, their most recent appearance to date. 2023 has been a year to forget for Mets fans, with the team posting a losing record and missing out on the postseason. Anticipation is already rising, however, for 2024, when New York Mets fans will hope to see their team back in contention again. 

New York Mets Rivalries

New York Mets vs New York Yankees

For most of their existence, the New York Mets did not have what you would term a rivalry with the New York Yankees, more of a case of sibling envy caused by watching the Yankees play baseball (and often win) in October when the Mets were already on the golf course. This all changed in 2000, when the Mets and Yankees clashed for the first time in the World Series, dubbed the Subway Series by the city’s media. The Yankees won in five, but from that point on, the rivalry was no longer theoretical—it was real and it was hot!

New York Mets vs Philadelphia Phillies

The rivalry between the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies is one of the more fiercely contested rivalries in baseball, even extending sometimes to brawls between opposing fans (a rarity in America). New York and Philadelphia have long been bitter adversaries in all different sports, with visiting teams receiving a rough welcome from the opposing crowd when on the road. Mets and Phillies games have also often featured significant stakes in terms of division standings, particularly in recent years as both teams have become contenders. This year, in October 2024, the Mets upset the Phillies 3-1 to claim the NL Division Series and move on to the playoffs.
