@AnthonyDiComo
November 5, 2026

NEW YORK -- For teams that wish to become consistent winners, there is no better avenue than the amateur Draft. That’s been the case for most of the past century, despite the dawn of free agency as a legitimate way to build a roster.

@AnthonyDiComo
November 5, 2026

World Series titles and beyond: The best moments in Mets history

@AnthonyDiComo
December 25, 2025

NEW YORK -- The Mets, one of Major League Baseball’s first expansion teams, have since developed a long and rich history.

@AnthonyDiComo
February 12, 2021

NEW YORK -- About halfway through Citi Field’s inaugural season, a horror unfolded.

Fernando Tatis Sr., then a utilityman for the Mets, hit a pinch-hit homer over the fence in left. “Cue the Apple!” Mets play-by-play man Gary Cohen exclaimed on air, expecting the sculpture beyond the center-field wall to rise

5 Mets who should be in the Hall of Fame

@AnthonyDiComo
November 5, 2026

NEW YORK -- Until the Mets retired Jerry Koosman's uniform number in 2021, the Mets had never bestowed that honor upon a player not in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Not surprisingly, Koosman ranks as one of the greatest Mets not to reach Cooperstown.

It's an impressive list, the Mets'

Here are the biggest Winter Meetings moves in Mets history

December 3, 2025

@kennlandry
April 29, 2022

The Mets waited 50 years -- 8,019 games -- for their first no-hitter, and when it finally came when Johan Santana went the distance in 2012, it left the Padres as the lone remaining MLB club without a no-no. 1,428 games later, they threw their second no-hitter against NL East

@AnthonyDiComo
February 8, 2026

NEW YORK -- For any team, the most popular players in franchise history tend to be of the homegrown variety. It takes an army of scouts, coaches and executives to draft and develop successful big leaguers, which is why the best of them receive so much respect.

@AnthonyDiComo
February 1, 2021

NEW YORK -- The Mets’ hope is that Francisco Lindor’s New York debut will be so dynamic, so vibrant, as to rank among the best the franchise has ever seen. But even with an All-Star caliber season, that will be a tough list for Lindor (or anyone) to crack.

@AnthonyDiComo
October 29, 2026

NEW YORK -- Historically, the Mets are among the most conservative teams when it comes to retiring uniform numbers. They have nonetheless retired some, iced others (declining to issue them to current players) and kept the rest in circulation.
