On Tuesday, the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown will announce the 2026 inductees into their hallowed halls. We know that former New York Mets second baseman Jeff Kent was the first inductee into the 2026 class out of the Veterans Committee ballot. Other names that could be joining him are Carlos Beltran, Andrew Jones, Chase Utley, Andy Pettitte, and Bobby Abreu. In terms of the...
The history of the Mets in the Fall Classic involves some of the most memorable events ever to occur on baseball’s greatest stage. There’s the culmination of a miraculous season and a miraculous comeback that led to a second title, but their three other appearances have also produced milestones that remain special to the franchise. 10. Marathon in Oakland Game 2 of the 1973 World...
The New York Mets’ slugging first baseman continues to produce at an elite level. Pete Alonso drove in his 100th run of the season on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, making it the fourth time across his seven year big league career he has done so. He is on pace for around 131 RBIs by season’s end. Alonso also ranks second in the majors, trailing only Kyle Schwarber and his 101...
Jersey retirements aside, this was not a weekend to remember for the New York Mets. After honoring former captain David Wright by retiring his iconic No. 5 jersey, the Mets dropped two out of three to the Reds at Citi Field. Granted, New York did win the series finale on Sunday to avoid the sweep. However, this weekend was hardly an ideal way in which to start the second half of the season. To...
July 19, will forever go down as “David Wright Day” at Citi Field. The city of New York forever retired No. 5 for the Captain, David Wright. It was one of the most highly anticipated and happiest occasions in the entire 64 years the Mets have been a team, as described by the master of ceremonies, Mets Hall-of-Famer and current voice of the New York Mets, Howie Rose. When David Allen Wright was...

The Mets are retiring David Wright’s No. 5 today and inducting him into the Mets Hall of Fame.

There’s something strange about meeting your hero. You turn and he’s there. The man who defined your childhood. The one you cheered on for years, no decades, as he emerged as the humblest superstar your franchise ever produced. The one you cheered on, in person, in his last professional game. As he exits the field one last time, you feel tears drip down your cheeks, as tears stream...
In many ways, the David Wright who ran onto the field for the first time as a major leaguer in July 2004 at Shea Stadium was the same David Wright who trotted out for the final time in September 2018. Within that 14-year span, he broke records, made seven All-Star teams, was an elite third baseman both in the field and at the plate, and was the face of a franchise that far too often didn’t...
The New York Mets (55-42) will begin the second half with a half-game deficit in the National League East behind the Philadelphia Phillies. After a 12-15 June, they have started to trend in the right direction, winning seven of their last 12 games. With the July 31 trade deadline looming, the Mets’ roster could look much different in a few weeks, but that’s a topic for another day....
It was an offensive explosion in Colorado this weekend for the New York Mets. The Mets leaned on power – a lot of power – to sweep the Rockies. Outside of the series opener, the offense absolutely went off at Coors Field. In the final two games, the lineup combined for 29 hits, 21 runs and nine home runs. You can make a compelling argument that beating up on a bad team was the tonic...
Good morning, Mets fans! Despite injuries to their starting rotation throughout the season, the Mets lead MLB in team ERA. The Mets rotation is rolling, but New York’s staff is getting some reinforcements to help make their pitching attack even stronger. Frankie Montas has begun making rehab starts and now Sean Manaea is expected to make his first rehab start for High-A Brooklyn this...
The annual New York baseball showdown has seen its ebbs and flows since interleague play was created over 25 years ago. Recently, with both teams profiling as contenders, it’s felt a lot more like the late 90s and early 2000s. When it began in 1997, it was more than just a novelty. City bragging rights were on the line, and the stakes were heightened further when the teams met in the World...
