Based in Flushing Queens, New York, United States – The New York Mets are a professional baseball team that is a member of the East Division of the National League of Major League Baseball.

In 1961, the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club Incorporated, a baseball club, received a certification as member of the National League. In 1962, an expansion franchise was founded in Manhattan. The Mets were formed to replace New York’s two previous clubs, the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants, which both left for California.

Other nicknames include “The Miracle Mets”, “The Amazin’ Mets”, “The Amazins”, and “The Metropolitans”.

Important moments and Accomplishments

The Mets won two World Series titles as champions. The first one was in 1969 where they played against the Baltimore Orioles. After beating the Orioles (they won four games out of five) they were regarded to as the “Miracle Mets” for beating one of the finest teams in the history of baseball. In this playoff, Donn Clendenon was awarded as the season’s MVP. In 1986, they won the World Series for the second time with their match against the Boston Red Sox. They won with four wins out of seven. Ray Knight was awarded as the MVP that year.

They also won the National League Pennants title four times. They became champions in the East Division five times. They were also able to win two Wild Card berths.

The following are baseball players that played for the New York Mets and are included in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. From the players mentioned below, only Tom Seaver was inducted as Met. Carter was inducted as an Expo despite his request to be depicted as either both Met and Expo, or just Met.

Pitchers in the roster:

- Luis Ayala
- Adam Bostick
- Pedro Feliciano
- Nelson Figueroa
- Aaron Heilman
- Brandon Knight
- Eddie Kunz

New York Mets recent news:

After staying in Polo Ground for two years, 1962 to 1963, the Mets moved to the Shea Stadium and stayed there for forty four years, from 1964 to 2008. They will be moving to their new home, the Citi Field. The Citi Field is still under construction and is expected to open in time for the 2009 season.

There are still rumors about Mets trying to get Manny Ramirez for the next season.

The Mets and Jerry Manuel have agreed and signed on a contract spanning two years.

The 2008 season has just ended, and the 2009 season is fast approaching. Mets fans can look forward to better New York Mets playoffs this coming season.

The New York Mets play in the Eastern Division of the National League. They are one among the two major league franchises in the City of New York. The other is the New York Yankees.

Some Baseball Tricks

Baseball is one of the most popular games of America. It can drive the fans totally crazy. Fanatic fans even go to the extent of worshipping the game and the players. For them, the game of baseball is their life. There are certain tricks in the game of baseball that you can use to better the game. As you must already be aware, the basic motive of every batter is to become a base runner or help others to run with him. A good batter needs to read the mind of the pitcher. He needs to understand the strategy the pitcher intends to adopt and react accordingly. He needs to communicate with his team members for their suggestions.

Observing the arm movements of the pitcher can go a long way in understanding the strategy of the pitcher. By scrutinizing the movement of the arms, the batter should be able to gauge which way the ball will move. Once the batter gets to understand the strategy of the pitcher, he can decide on his own course of action. If the batter has less number of strikes as compared to the number of balls, then the batter can take the chance of an easy ball. However if the situation is reversed, then the batter might land into trouble.

Base running is a crucial and difficult part of the game of baseball. It requires a thorough understanding of the game. All batters need to check the risk involved before running helter-skelter. The safest strategy would be to hit the ball very hard and high up in the air so that the batter gets many opportunities to run.

Baseball is a high energy, action packed game. So the players must keep themselves well hydrated and energized. They need to keep their cool and avoid making hasty decisions. Whichever, the game may be, stress is a killer for all players. Therefore, the players need to avoid stress big time.

Kids Fitness Exercises – How to Get Them Started

It can be very discouraging when your child does not want to participate in exercise of any kind. More and more children are becoming slaves to the television or videos games, and they are refusing to submerge long enough to breathe let alone participate in fitness of any kind. Here are kids fitness exercises that can be introduced into your child’s life painlessly though, and they can help to keep your child active for years to come.

A Peer Environment

Some kids do better when they have others that are their age participating in an activity with them. So, try to fine kids fitness exercises that they can do with their friends or even new children that they have never met. For instance, you can enroll them in karate or kick boxing class for boys, and gymnastics or cheerleading for girls. A peer environment also encourages them to try their best and not quit, so they are more likely to stick with that particular form of exercise.

Make it a Game

If you want to find kids fitness exercises that your child will actually take part in, then you may need to look towards the video games that you loath. There is now a new wave of video games for children of all ages that focus on getting your child up and moving. These games are not only for older kids, there are ones for younger children as well, and even you might enjoy getting in on a game every once in a while.

Get Them Interested

Try to find something that your child is interested in. If they have always tried to set and reach amazing goals, maybe you could sign the two of you up for a marathon and have fun practicing together. Or, perhaps they love to watch a particular kind of sports game on TV. Why not sign them up for a season at their school or local community center to see if they enjoy it? The idea is to make the exercise something that they like so that they will continue to do it.

Help Them Get a Job

Believe it or not you can kill two birds with one stone when you are trying to find kids fitness exercises that work for your child. There are plenty of jobs for older children that incorporate some form of exercise, and the lure of money may be too good for them to pass up. Examples of jobs that might contain a fair amount of exercise include dog walking, car washing, lawn mowing, or newspaper delivery. You will be happy because your children are getting exercise, and they will be pleased with some money in their pockets.

There are a variety of ways to incorporate kids fitness exercises into your child’s daily life. Whether you have to trick them into it, or simply find something they like, your child will be happier and healthier thanks to your effort.

Mets/Yankees Column

At this point in the season, both the New York Yankees and the New York Mets have nearly identical records, but it is the past that makes these two franchises so different.

The eyes of the baseball world will be on the old and decrepit Shea Stadium this weekend. The two New York baseball teams will meet for the first time in 2006 as interleague play begins.

Ever since interleague play was introduced back in 1997, this cross-town match up has been the highlight for New Yorkers and a curiosity for the rest of the baseball world. No city can boast as much passion and emotion for their respective baseball teams as the Big Apple can.

Speaking from the perspective of a Yankees fan, if one was heading to the Sportsbook to make a wager on these games and wanted to pick the team that has proven itself over the years and one that is always in contention for the playoffs, your choice should be the Yankees.

Bronx Bomber fans have always hated the Boston Red Sox, but the hatred of Mets fans is more tempered with a little bit of sadness, as the team has not done anything significant since winning the World Series back in 1969.

Ok, Mets fans -you did make the World Series in 2000, but you lost to the Yankees. Does losing in a World Series really count for anything? Beyond that, the Mets have wandered woefully through many losing seasons and have suffered because of some inept management and decisions at the general manager level.

A good majority of Mets fans will have to agree that New York is a Yankee town, and the back page of the NY rags will attest to that on most days of the baseball season. I will say that I still enjoy that apple that pops up in the outfield at Shea on the occasion of a Mets homerun.

When these two teams hook up in the regular season, it does become a battle of NY. There is a pointed difference in the hatred for our rivals from Boston as compared to the boys from Queens.

In Yankee fans’ minds, the Mets do not represent much of a threat to take over the town. They have always been the step-cousin or the out-of-town uncle that comes and goes in your life with little regard paid to them. They are more of a curiosity than a constant threat.

But are things changing for the Metropolitans in 2006? They come into this series with the Yankees standing alone in first place in the National League East with a shiny record and a new team full of big money stars and a renewed sense of pride.

Everything is in place for these two local rivals to heat things up again for the next several years. The Mets have Pedro Martinez, a gentleman Yankees fans will have no problem hating. Plus, the payroll and the superstar quotient of the Mets almost equal that of the Yankees.

The Yanks have a rising star in Robinson Cano, while the Mets can counter with 3B David Wright. Carlos Delgado is the Mets Big bopper, while Alex Rodriquez holds that title in the Bronx. Pedro has the scandalous background as does Jason Giambi, and both bullpens feature a large amount of money invested in closers.

This weekend’s tilt between the two teams will feature large crowds and will be important for the Mets, much more important than that series with the Atlanta Braves.

The Mets now have a good GM, good personnel, and a couple of players in the farm systems that have the potential to be great, if they are not traded away. They must now consider themselves frontrunners and shed the image of being the second most important team in a baseball-crazy town.

At one point in the winter, the Mets were a 12-1 pick to win the World Series, and now, that has been lowered to 7-1. The gap is closing between the Yankees and Mets, but in the end, it probably will not be enough. The Mets were the hot team last year, but faltered at season’s end. The Mets might still be a year or two away in the National League, having to overcome the powerful Cardinals and the flying Phillies.

Either way, the Yankees and owner George Steinbrenner know how important this series and the final set of games back in the Bronx are. It is all about image, and until the Mets can prove year after year that they are contenders and can win down the stretch, New York will always remain a Yankees town.

Dodgers Win 17 of 18 But They’re Not in the Clear!

The wild and wacky NL has suddenly quieted down as the surging L.A. Dodgers have assumed a 3 ½ game lead over the Diamondbacks and Padres. With just over 40 games remaining in the schedule the fickle fans at Chez Ravine are beginning to bleed Dodger Blue once again.

While a lot of the attention is being focused on veterans Maddux, Lowe, Sele and Penny, there is a strong case to be made for pitcher Chad Billingsley. The 22-year-old right-hander is 4-1 with a 1.76 ERA since the All-Star break.

The last NL team to win 17 of 18 games was the 1986 New York Mets who went on to win the World Series. No team in franchise history had won 17 of 18 since the Brooklyn Superbas went 20-1 during one stretch in 1899. Taking this into consideration, I’d lay some hard cash on a ‘futures’ bet at my local sportsbook or anywhere they take baseball betting.

The Dodgers’ streak began July 28 after they lost 13 of their first 14 games following the All-Star break. Their lone loss since they turned it around was on Aug. 9 when they were beaten by Colorado 3-1. Los Angeles starters are 12-1 with a 2.55 ERA in the last 18 games.

While the Atlanta Braves’ run of 14 NL East titles is about to come to an end they are certainly helping the Dodgers’ cause with their delivery of Wilson Betemit in a trade last month. The Dodgers are 14-0 with him in the starting lineup!

While the Padres and Diamondbacks trail the Dodgers by 3 ½, they are only 1 game back of the Reds in the wild card. The Padres (60-59) lost for the sixth time in eight games, a skid that dropped them into second place in the West. San Diego is 12-19 since the All-Star break.

If you are looking for a solid bet tonight I suggest you hit the Phillies to complete a sweep of the Mets. Tom Glavine the two-time CY Young Award winner is 26-16 with a 3.82 ERA in 58 career starts against the Phillies.

Glavine led the majors with 12 wins on June 23, but has notched just one victory since. He is 1-3 with a 5.12 ERA in his last nine starts and his only win in that span came against the Phillies on Aug. 5 when he allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings of the Mets’ 4-3 victory.

The Phillies improved to 18-13 since the All-Star break with Tuesday’s win and trail Cincinnati by 2 1/2 games in the NL wild-card race. If you’re not into online gaming, now’s a great time to start.

Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember

Pitchers are at the heart of baseball. Each has the potential to make his team a winner or, very quickly, a loser. The pressure is huge. In the end, only those with both the arm and the heart and the ability to manage extraordinary stress will emerge as champions. John Feinstein looks into this complex side of the game through the events of one nerve-racking season and through the eyes of two grea…
