About The New York Mets
New York Mets ticket holders know that no Met pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter. The team played their first game on 11th April, 1962 against the St. Louis Cardinals - unfortunately, they lost that game. The Mets went on to lose 9 straight games in the season with a record 40 – 120. The team’s .250 winning percentage was known as the fourth worst in major league history and many New York Mets ticket buying fans were not too pleased with this, because the team also had the 3rd worst record of the modern era (since 1901). In all of major league history, only the Cleveland Spiders had managed to lose more games in one season than the New York Mets (20-134, in 1899).
Despite their earlier losses, the fans continued to buy their New York Mets tickets. They loved to see this team play despite all their setbacks. The Mets played like true champions on May 26, 1964 in Chicago, and defeated the Chicago Cubs 19-1. This victory pleased every fan who bought New York Mets tickets that season.
The team was known as lovable losers by both New York Mets ticket holding fans and other baseball lovers but their reputation for being “adorable losers” slowly began to change in the late 1960’s. In 1966, the team chose catcher Steve Chilcott as the first overall selection in the amateur draft. He also became the first number one draft pick to retire without ever reaching the major leagues. The second pick of that same year was Reggie Jackson who also a House of Famer.
New York Mets ticket holding fans were pleased to know that the Mets improved on their game in the 1966 season and finished the season in 9th place.
In 1969, the Mets won the prestigious World Series Championships even though it seemed as if they were never going to win. The Mets also won the World Series title for the second time in 1986, making fans with New York Mets tickets extremely happy.
It is quite unfortunate that the Mets’ 2009 season was marred by injuries. 20 of the team’s players were on the disabled list at one point or another during the course of the season. This streak of injuries caused them to lose key players such as Jose Reyes, Carlos Delgado, JJ Putz, Carlos Beltran, Johan Santana and David Wright. This has New York Mets ticket buying fans a little worried about how the team hopes to perform this season, but this would not be the first time the Mets have shocked fans with an unexpected victory. Fans are hoping that they’ll bounce back just in time for the 2010 season.
