New York Mets history
When the Dodgers and Giants left New York, the city wanted National League baseball back, and the Mets were founded in 1962 as one of the first expansion clubs. Their colors were chosen to honor both departed teams. For the first two seasons the Mets borrowed the Polo Grounds in Manhattan, then moved to Queens.
Shea Stadium hosted the Mets from 1964 to 2008. It was named for William Shea, whose plan for a rival third league helped push the NL to add a team. Citi Field, next to the old Shea site, opened in 2009. The first season went 40-120, but the 1969 Miracle Mets beat Baltimore in a huge World Series upset. A second title came in 1986.
