	New York Mets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1964 the Mets, who played their first two seasons in the old Polo Grounds, the former home of the Giants, moved to the new Shea Stadium, a 55,300-seat multipurpose facility built in the Flushing neighborhood of the borough of Queens, adjacent to the site of the 1939 and 1964 New York World's Fairs.
		The Mets ended their first decade on a high note of their own, though, as the 1969 team, dubbed the "Amazin' Mets" or "Miracle Mets", posted not only their first winning season, but their first NL pennant and World Series championship, upsetting the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles 4 games to 1.
		The lowest point of the experiment was the 1993 season when the Mets lost 103 games.

	1986 World Series by Baseball Almanac
		The New York Mets were making their third World Series appearance (winning last in 1969) and totaled one-hundred eight regular season wins while finishing a whopping 21½ games ahead of their nearest competition.
		New York managed to tie up the Series in Game 4 thanks to Gary Carter's two home runs and three runs batted in.
		Although the "Beantown Bombers" had appeared in nine previous World Series contests (winning five), their last championship title had come an agonizing sixty-eight years prior (in 1918) when Babe Ruth pitched the Sox to two victories over the Chicago Cubs.
