The New York Mets are one of the most successful teams in the National League right now, and tickets to New York Mets games are extremely popular, both in New York and when they are on the road. If you've never been to a Mets game, you are missing out. They are a fun team to watch, and carry a lot of baseball history with them. Whether you love the team or hate them, the Mets are a strong part of New York and baseball in general, and they are one of the most respected teams in the game.
After the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers left the city for California, there was a big gap left in New York when it came to baseball, especially considering how fierce the rivalry between these three teams had been. The New York Mets joined Major League Baseball in 1962 as an expansion team, and quickly became one of the most successful teams in all of MLB. They won their first World Series Championship in 1969, and then again in 1986, when they famously defeated the Boston Red Sox. Known as the Amazing Mets because of their impressive style of play and quick bats, the Mets have been a fixture in New York City since introduced to the league. They currently play their home games at Citi Field in Flushing, Queens.
There have been many New York Mets players to reach the Hall of Fame, but only two were inducted into the Hall wearing a Mets cap: Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza. Other greats, like Gary Carter, Nolan Ryan, Eddie Murray, and Yogi Berra have also played for the team.
Today, Citi Field is one of the most popular places to go in all of New York City. The Mets are currently on a hot streak, having made the playoffs for the first time in 2015 in almost a decade. Before that, they were in playoff contention several times, only to lose their shot on the last day of the season. Thanks to this renewed popularity, tickets to Mets games are more popular now than ever, and getting a few for your friends or family is a special treat at any time.
