What are the wins and losses for the mets this season?
Asked by Wiki User
1962 was the first year for the New York Mets, the National League expansion team that Major League Baseball created to replace the Giants and Dodgers that had moved to California. In 1962, the Mets, led by manager Casey Stengel, had a record of 40-120, an all time record for futility. By the way, the Houston Colt '45s, later re-named the Astros, also joined the National League that year as the other expansion team. Their record was 64-96 and finished 8th in the 10 team league, ahead of the Chicago Cubs and the Mets.
Why are the New York Mets the best major league sports team?
Asked by Wiki User
Since the Mets have -
1) have an overall losing record ( 3,885 wins and 4,237 losses)
2) won only two Series titles in their entire history -- the same number as the Chicago Cubs and the Florida Marlins;
3) played in only four such series (1969, 1973, 1986, and 2000) -- fewer than the Phillies;
4) have not made the playoffs in any of the last six seasons;
5) haven't had a winning year in any of the last four seasons;
I'm not certain that your question makes any sense. It's fair to say that they aren't even the best National League team to have ever played in New York.

Where does Keith hernandez mets announcer reside?
Asked by Wiki User
http://www.nyc-plus.com/nycp7/keithhernandezbeyondthe.html (what is below is in this interview)
**The Keith Hernandez story begins October 20, 1953, in San Francisco, California.
"October 20 - Juan Marichal's birthday, Mickey Mantle's birthday, and mine.
"My father was John Hernandez, Jr., a San Francisco fireman for 25 years and a minor-league baseball player - a first baseman - during the Depression. My older brother Gary, by the way, was [like Keith] an all-American left-handed first baseman."
The Hernandez line goes back to Malaga, Spain.
"My grandfather, John senior, was a Spanish grump. His father was a captain in the Guardia Civil. John senior and his wife Lita foresaw the troubles coming in Europe and fled Spain in 1911. For some reason they went to the Philippines, where they chopped sugar until they caught a boat to Hawaii. They chopped sugar there, and John senior got to be foreman, and they caught a boat to San Francisco, bringing daughter Isabel with them. They proceeded to have five more children, my dad being the youngest.
"I'm the first Hernandez to have diluted blood. My mother, Jacquelyn Jordan Hernandez, a Deep South girl from Beaumont, Texas, was Scots-Irish. Her family had fled persecution in Scotland in the 1600s.
"I hate that 'Mex' and my dad hated it worse. 'Spain!' he'd yell. 'Where is that on the map? Europe!'
