Home/MLB

Two teams from New York, at two opposite ends of the spectrum, and the disappearance of a New York-based World Series. Yes, that’s where the New York Yankees and New York Mets are currently standing.

The last few weeks haven’t been the best for you if you’re a Mets fan. With a heartbreaking end to the regular season, followed by a disappointing wild card series display against the Padres, one would go out on a limb and say that the Mets’ didn’t deserve this after their 101 season victories. However, what unfolded is in front of us.

New York Mets and their unfortunate postseason history

The last time the Mets won the World Series was back in 1986. Since then, the Mets have made only seven postseason appearances, out of which, only two have translated into World Series appearances. This year, in 2022, the Mets successfully managed to break their 6-year playoff absence since 2016 and reached the Wild Card round.

This happening occurred after an unfortunate (for the Mets) last-minute turn of events in the National League’s West Division with the Atlanta Braves beating them by a marginal difference and qualifying for the Division Series.
