The New York Mets are a world-class Sports and Media-Entertainment Company located in Flushing, New York. As an Organization, we pride ourselves on being a family business operated in a collegial manner, with professionalism and accountability. The New York Mets joined the National League in 1962. The team colors – orange and blue – combine those from the Dodgers and Giants who left New York for California in the late 1950s. The team has captured two World Championships (1969 and 1986) and won the NL Pennant five times. Notable alumni include: Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, Gary Carter, Ed Kranepool, Rusty Staub, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, John Franco, Mookie Wilson, Edgardo Alfonzo and Mike Piazza. The Mets play their home games at Citi Field in Queens after previously calling the Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium home. Fun Facts: An iconic large red apple rises from a hat beyond the center field fence when the Mets hit a home run. The team’s mascot – Mr. Met – was the first mascot for a professional sports team and is enshrined in the Mascot Hall of Fame. ‘Ya Gotta Believe’ is a synonymous rallying cry by the fan base. The Mets have had several legendary managers throughout their history, including: Casey Stengel, Gil Hodges, Yogi Berra, Bobby Valentine and current skipper Terry Collins.
