New York Mets History Knowledge Base

Is David Wright the best third baseman the New York Mets have ever developed? Before Wright, the Mets had somewhere around 40 different thrid basemen in their team's history, mostly from other teams. The best of that group is obviously Robin Ventura, the worst? Take your pick! Basically, unless there is someone else in the 46 year history of the Mets who was better, is David Wright by far the best thrid baseman the team has ever had come up their farm system?
Jose Reyes did something last night no other player has done in New York history. What was it? This includes the Mets, Yankees, Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants.......Jose Reyes was the first player to accomplish this feat.
Is this the most revered team in New York sports history? My top 10 list: 1. Giants in 2007 2. Rangers in 1994 3. Yankees in 1996 4. Jets in 1968 5. Mets in 1986 6. Giants in 1986 7. Knicks in 1970. 8. Giants in 1990 9. Yankees in 2000 (we beat the Muts!) 10. Dodgers in 1955. People are going to be talking about the 2007 Giants for years and years and years because they upset an undefeated (18-1*) team. The Rangers in 94 are two because they broke the curse and New York REALLY needed that. Thats probably the greatest sports moment of my life. Yankees in 96 was a LONG time coming and they came back from 0-2 down. Jets in 1968 because of the guarantee and how big an upset it was. The Mets in 1986 really united the city and that was miraculous how they won. The Giants in 86 was a long time coming. The Knicks in 1970 were a great team and the Willis Reed game is incredible. The Giants in 1990 was improbable. The 2000 Yankees because of how they beat the Mets and gave Yankees fans permanent bragging rights. And the Dodgers because the y moved so quickly after and that was also a long time coming.
How pathetic are the Mets and the Bosox looking right now!? No one compares to the Yankees, our wealth, and our history. Mets are for poor New Yorkers. their stadium is next to a car junkyard HAHAHA! New York is the Empire state. its for wealthy people like us. Call me arrogant, but thats what I am. Mets got nothing to do with us Move to the Garbage state already! BOSOX Swept METS SWEPT NL is a crappy league. Yanks have a better record then the metros, and still they are in the wild card, which tells you how tough the AL is.
Who should I support, the Mets or the Yankees? To the most persuasive argument go the spoils ;)? I'm a 14 year old Australian, and I've taken a keen interest in baseball, but I need a team to genuinely support. I absolutely love New York, so it boils down to the Mets or Yankees. I love the Yankees history, but the Mets are an extremely likable team as well. Who should I support, and why? Thanks! :)
In the 65 year historyof the Polo Grounds in New York who were the only four players to ever hit a home run.? Who were the only four players in history at the polo grounds to ever hit a home run over the city field bleachers, a very "short" 510 ft. to the wall, ugh!!!! It happened twice in 1963 when the Mets were playing there.......
THIS MAKES MAY DAY - COMMISERATIONS METS, BIGGEST COLLAPSE IN THE BASEBALL HISTORy!? This will shut up the Met fans who kept saying how Yankees suck and the how Mets are the kings of New York. Let me say it again-I was really happy for this historic collapse. To your face Mets fans. You're historic losers! By the way, I'm the biggest Yankee fan and this was the icing on the already delicious cake.
Family of four (two teenagers) with 7 days to vacation in New York...What would you do? Okay....some background here. We will be going to The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, The Metropolitan Museum of Arts, The Cloisters, MoMA, St. Patricks Cathedral, The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, The American Museum of Natural History and The Empire State Building. We will try (cost permitting) to make a Broadway musical and a Yankees or Mets game. We are not into clothes shopping. I want to go to Zabar's and everyone wants to go to Greenwich Village. Please don't suggest Tavern on the Green or Delmonico's as I cannot take out a second mortgage for the sake of a five star chef.
In MLB who usually wins more in interleague baseball American league or National league? For example if New York Yankees play New York METs who usually in history has the stronger game the American league or National league? Are the games usually high scoring?
Baseball History? In 1967, who was the New York Mets outfielder that batted his way to 40th place on the runs batted in chart??
Can you name this team (hard)? Now this is hard!!! * Won 26 World Series * Were once called the New York Highlanders * Where Mickey Mantle played * Based in New York * Move to a new stadium in 2009 * Were a team in the movies "The Scout" and "Damn, Yankees" * Rhymes with the words "Schmoo Schmork Schmankees" * Derek Jeter plays for them. * They have an NY on their hat. * Featured on a DVD called "The New York Yankees Championships" * There is a book about them called "The history of the New York Yankees" * It's not the Mets
What do you think is the best baseball team ever? I think its the 1998 Yankees, but I'm a Yankees fan and right now I'm inspired to ask that question after watching Tino hit that slam against San Diego on Yankees Classics. What a team. 125 wins, 114 regular season, Boomer's perfect game, Bernie's batting title, El Duque's emergence, clinching a playoff berth faster than any team ever in baseball history and then... sweep Texas, beat the Tribe in 6, sweep San Diego. Best team ever in my opinion, without a doubt. Another team I would contend for is the 86 Mets, when you read about that team its amazing...they really were good. The CURRENT Mets could learn from it. AND I DONT WANT ANY OF THESE BANDWAGON FAN ANSWERS LIKE "2007 RED SOX! GO RED SOX! WOOOO!" None of that crap...we know the best team ever is a New York team...98 Yankees, 86 Mets, or 27 Yankees. But, I will accept all answers...even if they relate to the Sox (preferably white!)... What do you think? Thanks for your answers... LETS GO YANKEES! Start spreading the news, Im leaving today I want to be a part of it - new york, new york These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap These little town blues, are melting away Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere Its up to you - new york, new york New york, new york I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill A number one These little town blues, are melting away Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere It up to you - new york new york New york
Detroit Tigers Baseball? I posted a question a few weeks ago, right before the regular season ended, and there were a few people who gave some good responses....while others didn't--such as Detroit not making the playoffs (what idiots who said that). Well, I'm just glad to say that Detroit destroyed the Yanks, and we're ready to take on Oakland. Who thinks how well Detroit will do? Do you think they'll win the series? Do you think they'll make it to the World Series? Who do you think we'll play? A rematch of the '68 Series of St. Louis.......or will Detroit be the first team in baseball history to knock out both New York teams in the post season? I think Detroit will get to the World Series, and who they'll play....that's tough. I have a gut feeling that St. Louis will take the Mets.
