New Book[edit]

Does anyone have any information on the new 50th anniversary Mets book? Allen 16:03, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

1962 season[edit]

Their actual record was 40 wins, 120 losses, 1 tied, and 1 rainout not made up. The tie (7-7) came on September 9 at Houston, called after 8 innings due to a curfew.[1] The rainout also came against Houston, though I haven't isolated the specific game yet. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 20:42, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

The original schedule called for 9 games at New York and 9 at Houston:

at New York
Apr 16,17
Jun 22,23,24,24
Sep 18/19/20
Apr 16 rained out, made up as part of doubleheader on Jun 22.
Jun 24 doubleheader rained out, 1 made up as part of doubleheader on Sep 18, other presumably scheduled as part of doubleheader on Sep 19.
Sep 19 rained out, 1 made up as part of doubleheader on Sep 20, other game not made up.
at Houston
May 21,22
Jun 11,12,13,14
Sep 7,8,9
Jun 13 rained out, made up as part of doubleheader on Sep 8.
Sep 9 game ended in a tie.

Cool! I thought that 1962 was a 162-game season but couldn't reconcile it with their record. Thanks for clearing that up. TempDog123 (talk) 18:24, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

no hitter[edit]

blurb on no hitter in franchise history now outdated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.193.128.80 (talk) 11:48, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

How do you figure? It specifically says that UNTIL June 1 the Mets never had a no hitter and then in that paragraph goes on to talk about the specifics such as how it eluded Tom Seaver and what not and then in the paragraph after it says, clear as day, Santana threw the no hitter. It's pretty clear. -- The Writer 2.0 Talk 16:32, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I agree with this. The Tom Seaver part is especially important. --Gary Dell'Abate (talk) 02:24, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Retired Numbers[edit]

The Mets retired numbers no longer have the drop outline shadow.[1] If somebody could please fix this with the retired numbers, that would be greatly appreciated. --User:NJ Jurrjens (talk) 00:15, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Friendly reminder, it has been nearly 6 months and no change has been made. This should be done as soon as possible, thanks! --User:NJ Jurrjens (talk) 22:38, 28 September 2015 (UTC)

Reference for Mets colors?[edit]

"The Mets' colors are composed of the Giants' orange and Dodgers' blue (which also comprise the outer two bands of the New York City Flag). " I've seen this claim in many places but have never seen an authoritative source. I grew up a Mets fan and always figure the colors were from the NYC flag, with the only connection to Dodgers and Giants colors being that they chose their colors from the same source.

Nevermind... it's in the same reference for the naming of the team. Somehow I missed it. Jyg (talk) 03:03, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
