Franchise history
When a new team was proposed for New York after
the New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers left for California,
a number of names were proposed. The name "Metropolitans"
had the advantage of historical precedent, having been
the name of an earlier baseball team in New York in
1883-1887.
The New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc (nicknamed
"Mets" almost from the start, as had been
the earlier Metropolitans) began their existence posting
a 40-120 record, the worst record for any team in the
20th century. They ended the decade, though, as the
1969 "Miracle Mets", posting not only their
first winning season, but their first NL pennant and
World Series championship, upsetting the Baltimore Orioles
