Watch New York Mets

1969
1 Season

The New York Mets is a Major League Baseball (MLB) team representing New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. The team was established in 1962 and is well-known for its blue and orange color scheme. Although they are one of the younger teams in the National League, the Mets have already won two World Series titles, five National League pennants, and six East Division titles.

The Mets play their home games at Citi Field, which is located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens. This new modern ballpark, which opened in 2009, replaced the old Shea Stadium, which was used by the team from 1964 to 2008.

The Mets have had many great players throughout their history, including Hall of Fame members Tom Seaver, Mike Piazza, and Gary Carter. The team has also been home to some of baseball's most memorable moments, such as the "Miracle Mets" winning the 1969 World Series as huge underdogs, and the heartbreaking loss in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series before ultimately winning in Game 7.

In recent years, the Mets have undergone a rebuilding process, which has seen the team focus on developing young talent from within their organization. The team's current roster is led by All-Star players such as Jacob deGrom, Pete Alonso, Michael Conforto, and Jeff McNeil. If these players continue to perform at a high level, the team should be competitive in the National League for years to come.

Baseball fans can keep up with the Mets through various media channels. The team has a large and active fan base, which has led to exciting and informative online platforms. The official New York Mets website (mets.com) offers fans up-to-date news, highlights, and stats as well as the Mets Insider blog, which provides behind-the-scenes access to the team. The Metsâ social media channels are equally engaging, with accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, which share regular updates, exclusive content, and promote fan engagement.

For fans who may not have access to cable, the Mets games can be watched through the MLBâs subscription-based streaming service, MLB.TV. Radio broadcasts of the games can be heard on 710 AM WOR, the Mets' official radio station.

6. 1999 NLCS, Game 5: Braves at Mets

October 17, 1999

Atlanta Braves 3 at NY Mets 4, F/15 -- Robin Ventura's grand-slam single ends this marathon game. At five hours and 46 minutes, it is one of the longest game in postseason history -- but this Shea Stadium classic is well worth the wait. Facing elimination, the Mets hang on against the rival Braves until the 15th inning, when the bases fill up for Robin Ventura. Ventura, hitless thus far in the series, belts a grand slam into the right-field seats ... or does he? Because he is mobbed before he even reaches second base, Ventura's game-winner is scored a single.

5. 1986 World Series, Game 7: Red Sox at Mets

October 27, 1986

October 27, 1986: 1986 World Series, Game 7: Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Mets 8, F -- Both teams were facing their final game in one of the most dramatic postseasons ever: the Mets finally triumphant in an epic NLCS vs. the Houston Astros; the Red Sox fighting the "Curse of the Bambino" and the California Angels in the ALCS... and of course both clubs coming directly off the heels of the infamous "Bill Buckner" Game 6. And so the 1986 season for all the marbles came down to this final game at a packed and raucous Shea Stadium. A rainout of the originally-scheduled Game 7 the day before allowed the pressure to build for another 24 hours. Boston jumped out to a 3-0 lead; the Mets tied it four innings later, and built the lead in the 7th and 8th innings, including a home run by Darryl Strawberry and an RBI by closer Jesse Orosco. Indeed, it was Orosco's 1-2-3 ninth inning, and his subsequent flinging of arms and glove into the air that became the iconic image for these '86 Mets and their Championship season, and another defeat for the long-suffering Red Sox and their fans. Of course, it could not be known at the time, but this was the last World Series game the Sox would lose in 20 years; they swept to Championships in 2004 and 2007. At the time, however, it was a heart-stopping end to one of the classic postseasons in baseball history.

4. 1986 World Series, Game 6: Red Sox at Mets

October 25, 1986

Boston Red Sox 5 at New York Mets 6, F/10 -- The Mets' 10th-inning comeback is punctuated by the ground ball that squibbed through Bill Buckner's legs and into baseball history. Leading 5-4 in the 10th inning, just one out away from their first Championship since 1918, the Red Sox (much to the frenzied delight of the Shea Stadium crowd) watch it all roll slowly away from them... literally. Bob Stanley's wild pitch allows Kevin Mitchell to score the tying run. Then, on the final pitch of a fabulous at-bat, Mookie Wilson fights off a fastball and dribbles a grounder up the first-base line that slips between Bill Buckner's legs and into history. Ray Knight dashes home with the game-winning run, forcing a Game 7 and permanently adding Buckner's name to the list of notorious baseball "goats."

3. 1986 NLCS, Game 6: Mets at Astros

October 15, 1986

New York Mets 7 at Houston Astros 6, F -- In one of the most thrilling LCS games ever, the Mets finally win this see-saw nail-biter to advance to the World Series. Starter Bob Knepper shut out New York for eight innings before the Mets broke through to tie in the ninth. They finally scored again in the top of the 14th, then watched as the Astros re-tied the game on a Billy Hatcher homer. In the 16th, the Mets pushed across three more runs, but again the Astros fought back. They scored more two runs to draw within one run before Jesse Orosco struck out Kevin Bass to send the exultant and exhausted Mets to the World Series.

2. 1986 NLCS, Game 3: Astros at Mets

October 11, 1986

Houston Astros 5 at New York Mets 6, F -- Mets shift the series momentum on Lenny "Nails" Dykstra's two-run, 9th inning walk-off. With Astros' closer Dave Smith on the mound, Wally Backman bunted his way on, benefiting from a controversial runner-out-of-the-baseline call. One batter later, up stepped fan favorite, firebrand Lenny "Nails" Dykstra, who struck out in his first at-bat as a pinch-hitter in the 7th. Not known as a power hitter, Nails got ahold of one and enjoyed the two-run walk-off, as the Mets took the game 6-5, and lead in the series, 2-1.

1. 1969 World Series, Game 5: Orioles at Mets

October 16, 1969

Baltimore Orioles 3 at New York Mets 5, F -- The Miracle Mets complete the upset over the heavily-favored Baltimore Orioles. Slugger Donn Clendenon and light-hitting Al Weis each homered to back the five-hit pitching of Jerry Koosman as the Mets closed out their first-ever World Series championship. A key play in the sixth featured Cleon Jones being plunked on the foot by Baltimore starter Dave McNally. Jones was not originally awarded the base, but manager Gil Hodges retrieved the ball and pointed out the telltale black shoe polish on the ball as proof. Rattled, McNally surrendered a two-run homer to the next batter, Clendenon, bringing the Mets within a run and shifting the momentum irrevocably toward New York. The Mets tacked on three more runs in the next two innings and the Amazing' upset was complete.
