About Us
In 1958, the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers moved to
California, leaving New York City without a National League baseball
team. The New York Yankees reigned as the lone New York City
baseball team until 1962, when the New York Metropolitans were
born. The New York Mets played at the Polo Grounds in
Manhattan for their first two seasons. Then, in 1964, the club
moved to Flushing, Queens, a neighborhood within New York City, to
play at the newly-built Shea Stadium. There, the Mets won two
World Series championships in 1969 against the Baltimore Orioles,
and in 1986 against the Boston Red Sox. The team moved to
their current home, Citi Field, in 2009. As a new decade of
baseball is on the rise, the Mets set out on a quest to win their
third World Series title in franchise history and beyond.
