The New York Mets play baseball in the East Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The Mets franchise was founded in 1962 and named after another baseball club, the New York Metropolitans who played in the late 1800's. The Mets would win World Series titles in 1969 and 1986. The Mets have off and on been stuck with (and at times even cultivated) a "lovable loser" image. The current team, however, means business and with a strong lineup and a new stadium in the works, the Mets have a bright future ahead.

The New York Mets currently play in the new Citi Field stadium in Flushing, New York. Opened in April 2009, the new 41,800 capacity statdium is an architectural nod to old Ebbetts Field from the outside. The entrance area is called the Jackie Robinson Rotunda, named after the legandary Brooklyn Dodger. The stadium is a flagship inner city stadium for Major League Baseball and a good home for the beloved Mets.
