The New York Mets' 1992 season was the 31st regular season for the Mets. They went 72-90 and finished 5th in the NL East. They were managed by Jeff Torborg. They played home games at Shea Stadium.
In response to Bob Klapisch's book on the 1992 Mets, The Worst Team Money Could Buy: The Collapse of the New York Mets (ISBN 0-8032-7822-5), New York Mets outfielder Bobby Bonilla confronted Klapisch in the team's clubhouse, threatening him, and having to be restrained.[1][2]
