How many times did the mets make it to the playoffs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Mets reached the playoffs 7 times and the World Series 4 times. They won the World Series twice. # 1969: Shocked the Orioles 4 games to 1 to win the World Series, after never before placing better than 9th (in a 10 team league). # 1973: "Ya Gotta Believe" Mets were in last place going into September, then won the division, upset the Reds 3 games to 2 in the League Championship Series, and took a 3 games to 2 lead in the World Series before losing games 6 and 7 in Oakland to the A's. # 1986: Beat the Red Sox 4 games to 3 in the World Series. The Mets won 108 regular season games, but were one strike away from being eliminated in the World Series, before their unprecedented comeback. # 1988: Lost to the League Championship Series to the Dodgers, 4 games to 3, as Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser and MVP Kirk Gibson had legendary moments. # 1999: In third place in the Wild Card race, 2 games back with 3 to play, the Mets came back, beat the Reds in a one game playoff for the Wild Card, beat the Diamondbacks on a walk-off tenth inning homer to win the NLDS, and then had some great comebacks against the Braves in the LCS, ultimately losing game 6 on a walk-off walk. # 2000: Won the Wild Card, beat the Giants in the NLDS and the Cardinals in the NLCS, before falling to the Yankees in the Subway Series, 4 games to 1. # 2006: Swept the Dodgers in the NLDS, lost Game 7 of the NLCS to the Cardinals, with Carlos Beltran frozen by an 0-2 curveball with the winning run on first.

What baseball team stinks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on your question, you could mean the team that you think is the worst, or you could be referring to being bad in a statistical way. By statistics, the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2010 had the worst record in the Major Leagues. The Baltimore Orioles had the worst record in the American League. In all of baseball history, you could mean in World Series wins or some other statistic, so the answer would be the Philadelphia Phillies in their 127 year history with 10,232 losses.

What is the name of the Mets' stadium?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Mets have used three stadiums as their home field-The Polo Grounds from 1962-1964, Shea Stadium from 1964-2008, and Citi Field from 2009-Present. The Polo Grounds, while used as the Mets' home stadium, was not built for the Mets. It was the New York Giant's field which the expansion team Mets used until Shea Stadium was built.
