Welcome to Tuesday Top Ten, a new offseason series devoted to reliving moments of magic, misery, or overlooked meaning throughout Mets history. Rankings might cover specific players, teams, games, catches, home runs, uniforms, etc. — with the necessary disclaimer that comparing circumstances across 64 years is an impossibly imperfect science and an inherently subjective exercise. The purpose of these articles isn’t to generate definitive conclusions or spark mean-spirited debate, but to celebrate the passion and heartbreak which brings generations of fans together, from the Polo Grounds to Shea to Citi.
With the 2025 World Series in full swing, this inaugural article highlights the Mets who came through during the team’s five trips to the World Series in 1969, 1973, 1986, 2000, and 2015.
