Mets Hall of Famers

Elected at least partly based on performance with the Mets

Gary Carter (great Hair!), catcher, 1985-1989

Carter asked that his Hall of Fame plaque either be depicted as split between the Mets and Montreal Expos, or just as a Met. The Hall of Fame denied both of Carter's requests and he was inducted as an Expo. He should have worn Mets footie pajamas to the induction ceremony.

Tom Seaver, pitcher, 1967-1977, 1983 (only player with a Mets hat on Hall of Fame plaque)

Other Hall-of-Famers associated with the Mets

Richie Ashburn, outfielder, 1962
Yogi Berra, catcher, 1965, manager, 1972-1975
Willie Mays, outfielder, 1972-1973
Eddie Murray, first baseman, 1992-1993
Nolan Ryan, pitcher, 1966, 1968-1971
Duke Snider, outfielder, 1963
Warren Spahn, pitcher, 1965
Casey Stengel, manager, 1962-1965

2006 Mets Season

Minaya's offseason moves and his organization of the team during the season paid off in 2006, as the team, led by a franchise record six All-Stars (Beltran, Lo Duca, Reyes, Wright, Glavine, and Martínez), won the division title, their first in 18 years. The Mets led the division from April 6 on, and built a lead as high as 16 1/2 games, before clinching the division on September 18th, becoming the first team in the Major leagues to clinch a 2006 playoff berth. The Mets finished the season 12 games ahead of the Phillies, and with the best record in the National League. The Mets achieved this success despite a slew of injuries which included losing Martínez for a month, and starting fifteen different pitchers in games. A 9-1 June road trip through Los Angeles, Arizona and Philadelphia was a turning point for the season.

Some even say the Mets are emerging as “the” team in New York . . .

The Mets 2006 division title ended the Atlanta Braves' streak of 11 straight National League East division titles, as they became the first team besides Atlanta to win the NL East since the 1994 division realignment. 2006 was also the first time ever that the Mets and Yankees each won their respective divisions in the same year. Both New York teams also had the best records in their respective leagues, 97 wins and 65 losses.

Despite losing Pedro Martínez and Orlando Hernández from their starting rotation due to injury, the Mets swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2006 National League Division Series, relying on their bullpen (with the lowest regular season ERA in the National League) and their potent offense. But the bullpen and offense failed in key moments in the 2006 National League Championship Series, and the Mets lost to the St. Louis Cardinals, the eventual 2006 World Series champions in seven games, with the decisive blow coming on a ninth-inning home run by Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina.



 

Shea Stadium
The Mets have called Shea Stadium home since 1964.  The Orange and Blue semi-circle in Queens, NY, seats a whopping 57,000 New York Mets fans.  Shea is a quinissential NY sports establishment -- the Yankees played there from 1974 to 1975 and the New York Jets played there from 1964 to 1983.

Currently under construction, and preparing for Opening Day 2009, is the future home of the New York Mets, Citi Field.  Citi Field is 100% publicly financed to the tune of $610 million.  The playing surface is grass and the Mets hope to celebrate a World Series there before too long.
