1969: The first World Series champion
1969's book results do not make people think that the Metropolitan has a way to make the playoffs at first glance. The team has only 109 home runs, and there are obviously many hidden worries in firepower. However, because the starting pitcher Tom Seaver won 25 wins this season, the Metropolitans have performed stably in the National League all year round under his leadership. On September 10, with the end-of-season collapse of the Chicago Bears and the Metropolis' two consecutive victories against the Montreal Expo, Yao was promoted to No. 1 in the division with 100 wins and 62 losses, which is the first time in team history.

1972-1985
On January 24, 1980, the Metropolitan City was sold to a group led by Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon. The trading price of is roughly estimated to be 21.1 million US dollars, which was the most expensive transfer fee ever for American professional sports teams.In June 1982, the Metropolitan Dwight Gooden, the potential pitcher who will become the main player in the future, won the fifth round of the draft.
1984 The Metropolitan Society finally stopped falling and rebounded. Although ranked second in the division, 90 wins and 72 losses have been the best results in recent years. Another highlight of this year is that Dwight Gooden, who was selected in the previous two years, shining in the rookie year, and shot the most 276 strikeouts in the NFC in 218 games and won 17 wins, which allowed him to win the newcomer king in the first year of his career. On December 12, 1984, the Metropolis used infielder Hubie Brooks, catcher Mike Fitzgerald, outfielder Herm Winningham and pitcher Floyd Youmans to exchange for star catcher Gary Carter.
This reinforcement immediately received greater results in the 1985 season. Gary Carter scored 32 hits and 100 RBIs in the first year of coming to the Metropolis. Dwight Gooden has further highlighted his "Dr. K" sign this year. He has 24 wins, a defense ratio of 1.53, 16 final shots (including 8 finals), a burden of 276.2 innings and 268 strikeouts are all the best in the National League, almost completely dominating the game. He not only took charge of the pitcher's triple crown but also won the Cy Young Award. However, even though the Metropolitans scored 98 wins and 64 losses, the St. Louis Cardinals in the same district had more than 101 wins, so they still missed the opportunity to return to the playoffs.
1986: The second World Championship champion
The Metropolitan, which spent two years to hone the training, has been prepared in all aspects. Key fighters such as catcher Gary Carter hit 24 hits and 105 RBIs; infielders Keith Hernandez and Wally Backman with a strike rate of more than 30%; "Strawberry" that contributed 20-20 hits - Darryl Strawberry; competently plays the role of Mookie Wilson and Lenny Dykstra. In terms of pitchers, the five players led by Dwight Gooden have scored 15 wins and more than 15 wins in the rotation, and even the terminator Roger McDowell won 14 wins and 22 rescues.
On September 17, 1986, the Metropolis defeated the Bears 4:2 at home and also won the National League East Championship. After 13 years of missing, they finally returned to the playoffs. was strongly played in shooting, and the Metropolis won the best record of 108 wins and 84 losses in team history all year. On October 15, in this game that is the most intense in playoff history, the Mets finally defeated Houston Astros 7:6 in 16 innings. He won the third National League championship in team history. On October 25, the Metropolis created a miracle in the sixth game of the World Championship. The two were eliminated in the second half of the 10th innings and scored two consecutive points. The most important thing was that Mookie Wilson hit the first base and rolled the ball through the crotch of Boston Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner, which also made Ray Knight run back and score, and the Metropolis won 6:5. On October 27, the seventh World Championships was postponed for one day due to rain. In the end, the Metropolis defeated the Red Sox 8:5 and won the second World Championship in team history.
1987-1998
still remained competitive the following year after winning the World Championship, but the Cardinals has been entangled with it. In the end, the Metropolis lost to the Cardinals with 92 wins and 70 losses, 95 wins and 67 losses, and failed to defend the title. This year, the Metropolitan team stolen and stolen 159 times, and Darryl Strawberry and third baseman Howard Johnson both paid the "30-30 stolen" results.
In 1994, due to the impact of the general strike, the Metropolitan only played 113 games, with 55 wins and 58 losses, and the third place in the division was won. It is gratifying this season that Bret Saberhagen, who traded in the previous two years, has recovered his skills, 14 wins and 4 losses, with a defense ratio of only 2.74; John Franco's 30 rescues were the most successful in the National League, which is also the third time he won the rescue king in his career. However, if there was no major strike, the records of the two above will definitely be able to rise again. 1994 was also the last year for Dwight Gooden to stay in the Metropolis. This year Gooden was reimbursed in advance due to injury throughout the whole season. Although the player won the Cy Young Award before this, his image was seriously damaged due to the ban on drugs and the fight, so the Metropolis did not intend to renew his contract with him. In 1995, the Mets traded Bret Saberhagen to the Rockies for Arnold Gooch before 731. At this time, the team had no ace pitcher who could stand alone. This year's record is 69 wins and 75 losses, ranking second in the division. On May 5 of that year, the Metropolis lost 6:9 to the Expo away. In this game, Edgardo Alfonzo became the 100th third baseman to play. Since the Metropolitans launched the first third baseman Don Zimmer in 1962, a total of 121 players have appeared at the third base. Of the 121 players, only 10 players played for the Mets to defend third base for more than two hundred games. The most dazzling one is Howard Johnson, who played 835 games as a third baseman for eight consecutive years.Edgardo Alfonzo played more games as a third baseman than the other 121 players, except for the three retired Mets: Johnson, Wayne Garrett, who helped the team win the 1969 World Series championship, and Hubie Brooks. And the 1999 Gold Glove Award Robin Ventura played 436 games as a third baseman for the Metropolis. 1999 before the start of the season, such as Robin Ventura, who signed the White Sox with a four-year contract from the free market, Robin Ventura, a fast-legged outfielder Roger Cedeño, and a rescue pitcher who traded three-party trades for the Orioles. The next day, the Yankees won the AFC championship, which also led to the subway war at the 1st World Series since 1956. In the second game of this match, the Yankees were started by Roger Clemens. In the inter-league event earlier in the season, Clemens' fast ball hit Mets catcher Mike Piesa in the head, causing him to be on the wounded roster. As the pitcher must leave the field to strike in the NFC home game, Yankees head coach Joe Torrey decided to let Clemens start at the Yankees home in the second game, which would prevent him from pitching and hitting the NFC court and give the Metropolis a chance to retaliate. Although Tory was cautious enough, there was a dispute between Clemens and Piesa in the second battle. In Piesa's first shot, the ball hit Clemens caused a break. The ball was out of bounds, but the sharp broken rod flew towards Clemens. Clemens rushed down the mound and threw the broken stick towards the sideline, almost hitting Piesa who was running. Piesa believes this is a dangerous move, and Mets fans also severely criticized Clemens' behavior. Clemens defended after the game that he didn't see Piesa running over, and he threw the broken stick next to him angrily because his body was filled with tense energy. Piesa later avenged her home run, but Clemens ended up winning. In the end, the Metropolis lost to the Yankees 1:4 and missed the World Championship in its first year of entering the 21st century. Before the start of the season, the Metropolitan signed Kevin Appier, the AFC defender in 1993, and recruited outfielder Takashi Shinjo from the Japanese professional baseball team Hanshin Tiger to outfielder Takashi Shinjo. On July 14, 2001, the Metropolis defeated the Red Sox 2:0, and Bobby Valentine also became the 48th coach in the history of the major leagues to win 1,000. In this game, Glendon Rusch (8 innings) and Armando Benitez (1 inning) teamed up to make the 22nd 1-hit game in Mets history. Rusch's only hit in this game was a hit hit by Trot Nixon in the first game. 2002 before the start of the season in 2002, the Metropolitan executed an unsuccessful transaction. They used Alex Escobar, Matt Lawton, Jerrod Riggan, Earl Snyder and Billy Traber to trade with the Indians the most well-known star second baseman in the league at that time - Roberto Alomar. At the same time, Kevin Appier was traded to Angels for Mo Vaughn, who won the MVP in the Red Sox in 1995. Third baseman Robin Ventura was traded to the Yankees for David Justice, and a few days later Justice was traded to the athletes for Mark Guthrie and Tyler Yates. Alomar's performance after coming to the Metropolis was severely deteriorated. The team's record this year has declined to 75 wins and 86 losses, ranking at the bottom of the division. Before the start of the season in 2003, the Metropolitans recruited former Warriors' famous bidder Tom Glavine with a four-year contract of $42.5 million, but he did not perform well when he came to the team, and also recruited former Marlins star outfielder Cliff Floyd. The Mets decided to trade Roberto Alomar to the White Sox in the mid-season to exchange for minor league players such as Andrew Salvo, Edwin Almonte and Royce Ring. This year's record is 66 wins and 95 losses, ranking last in the division again. Although the results of signing Japanese professional baseball players in the past few years were not outstanding, the Metropolitan area took action again before the season started in 2004, signing Matsui Katoo, who was known as the "nuclear warhead" in Saitama Seibu Lions. Matsui then staged a record of "the first shot for the first time for the new player to play the first goal" against the Warriors in the opening game, which was the first time in major league history. This year, the Metropolitan Fighter still had poor results, 71 wins and 91 losses, but the ranking rose to fourth place, avoiding becoming the owner of the zone furnace for three consecutive years. In 2005, the Metropolitan Metropolis spent two heavy-money reinforcement shots. First, with a four-year, US$53 million contract, he collected the famous bid that helped the Red Sox break the "Babyruce Curse" the year before and won the Celeron Award three times in his career. Then, he signed Carlos Beltrán with a sky-high contract of US$119 million in 7 years. This year, the Metropolis returned to the 50% victory rate with a record of 83 wins and 79 losses, but only ranked third in the division. It is worth noting that David Wright, the team's future reliance, made a cry at the beginning of this year. He hit 27 home runs, 102 RBIs, and 17 thieves, with a hit rate of .306. In addition, José Reyes, a newcomer, hit 17 triple hits and 60 thieves, both of which were the most. Before the season, the Metropolitans signed a powerful terminator, "Speedball Boy" Billy Wagner, who was considered second only to Mariano Levira in the league at the time, and traded Grant Psomas, Mike Jacobs and Yusmeiro Petit, and exchanged the Marlins for heavy artillery first baseman Carlos Delgado. The Metropolitan Rounds in the season 0 have some hidden worries. Perjo Martinis is absent due to injury, but Tom Glavine and Steve Trachsel have performed well in time, and both contributed 15 wins. Another key is that in May, the "Duke" with the Diamondbacks, Orlando Hernández, who was completely different after coming to the team. He started 20 games, scored 9 wins and 7 losses, and suffered 116.2 games, reducing a lot of pressure for the Metropolitan Rotation with many wounded soldiers at the time. Billy Wagner has defended the team for 40 games throughout the season, and contributions are no problem. In terms of hitters, Paul Lo Duca, who replaced Piesa, performed well after leaving the team; José Reyes has maintained a leading three-base hit and stolen bases for two consecutive years; David Wright's performance has gone to a higher level - the 26-Bang, 116 RBI, 20-Batter, and .311 hits are all similar to last year and even breaks through; Carlos Beltrán hit 41 home runs, hitting a performance that suits his value; Carlos Delgado also has 38 home runs and 114 RBIs. When the shooting was done well, the Metropolis won the division championship with 97 wins and 65 losses, returning to the playoffs again after 2000. The Metropolis swept the Dodgers with a straight-down three in the Division Series, but was eliminated by the Cardinals 3-4 in the NFC Championship. On November 2, the Metropolis in the fifth game of the World Championships, first tied by the American League champion Kansas City Royals on 9, and then came to the first half of the 12th innings. The approaching midnight also symbolized that the Metropolis' Cinderella legend this year was about to turn into ashes. The Royals in this half of the innings were 5 points in one go. In the end, the Metropolis lost 2:7 and lost 1:4 to the Royals in the World Series. Although Mr. Goat Daniel Murphy turned to the Nationals, the Metropolitan exchanged pirates for the Pirates Neil Walker. Although unable to pull down the hot citizens, the Metropolitan City was able to successfully get rid of the wounded soldiers, successfully grab the wild card, and fight the San Francisco giants to determine life and death. Both sides did play as expected as the pitching match. In the end, Jeurys Familia was shot out by Conor Gillaspie on 9 and laid the foundation for victory and was eventually eliminated. The Metropolis has confirmed that Indian pitcher coach Mickey Callaway is the new head coach, and it fell below everyone's glasses at the beginning of the season and hit a climax, but the successor was powerless. mid-season trading, the Metropolis sent Asdrubal Cabrera to the Phillies, and then traded the patron saint Jeurys Familia to the athletes in exchange for rookies. In September 2018, the fourth captain of the Metropolis, who has not been able to play for more than two years, "Captain America" Wright announced at a press conference that he served as the starting third baseman in his home game against the Marlins on September 29 as the final battle of his career. Although he said he was not retired, he said he would not come back to play basketball again. Even Yankees, who belonged to New York, bought an advertisement to pay tribute to him. On September 25, the Brewers defeated the Red Man 9:2 away on the road, representing the Bears and the Metropolis missed the playoffs, and the Metropolis missed the playoffs for four consecutive years. Mickey Carave was confirmed to be fired, and Carlos Belchuan, who once played for the Metropolis, was replaced by Carlos Belchuan, who once played for the Metropolis, as the head coach of the Metropolis. On January 16, 2020, Carlos Bellchuan resigned as the head coach of the Mets for suspected participation in the Houston Astros stealing a secret code scandal On January 16, Luis Rojas replaced Bellchuan as the new head coach of the Mets. On October 4, after ending the season with 77 wins and 85 losses, the Mets decided to refuse to execute the Luis Rojas contract option. will find the next general manager. After the team interviewed Billy Eppler, they were negotiating the details of the contract with him. Eppler, 46, served as Los Angeles chief executive for six years. He was fired after the 2020 season and was previously the deputy chief executive of the Yankees in New York. Metropolitan boss Steve Cohen announced on Twitter that he would hire Buck Hugwatt to become the team's next head coach with a three-year contract. Showalter is 65 years old and has rich experience in coaching the Major League. He has taken over four teams in 20 years, and has been in Baltimore for the longest nine years. September 19, 2022, today, the final victory against the Milwaukee Brewers was 7:2, confirming that they won the playoff ticket for the first time since 2016. In addition, the Warriors also won today. The competition among the leaders of the National League East District is still worth playing. The Mets were ahead of almost the entire season, but they were swept in three consecutive games with the Warriors, resulting in the final record being the same as the Warriors (both 101 wins and 61 losses) , but because of the Warriors' results, they were at a disadvantage with 9 wins and 10 losses. They could only use the fourth seed of the National League to compete with the San Diego Padres to have a three-game two-win wild card series. The first game of the series was Xue Ze (Max) Scherzer took the lead, but he lost seven points after only 4.2 innings, and finally the team lost the first game 1:7.
