-The '''New York Mets''' are a second place Major League baseball team.  They play at [[Citi Field]], a newly constructed ballpark in [[Queens]].  The Mets are known for their terrible inagural season in 1962, their "Amazin'" 1969 World Series run, being the benefactor of Bill Buckner's infamous error in game 6 of the 1986 World Series, and more recently coughing up the division title (twice) to their more talented rivals, the [[Philadelphia Phillies]].

-It is generally accepted that the only two Major League baseball teams more annoying than the Mets are the [[Boston Red Sox]] and [[New York Yankees]], but this is highly debatable.  You'll have to put up with it, though; the Mets possibly the most popular baseball team on campus.
