In a city filled with sports heroes and storied franchises, the New York Mets are second to none. Get your glove on and keep your eyes open for a foul ball. A Major League Baseball team since 1962, deciding to attend a Mets game should be on everyone's to-do list. World Series Champions in 1969 and 1986, the Mets offer some of the best action baseball has to offer. The Mets won their division in 2006. As the playoffs rolled around, the Mets defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, before losing to the eventual World Series Champions, the St. Louis Cardinals. Backed by solid pitching and a potent offense, the New York Mets are a National League force. The New York Mets are the pride of Queens. Setting aside time to attend a Mets game is worth the drive and is the perfect outing for any sports fan. So the next time you're in the Big Apple, get out of Midtown and spend an evening out with the New York Mets.
