The New York Mets enjoyed a decade of significant highlights in the 2000s, beginning with a memorable 2000 season where they captured the National League pennant and competed in the historic Subway Series. Led by stars like Mike Piazza and Edgardo Alfonzo, the team consistently provided thrilling moments, including Piazza’s iconic home run that helped heal the city during the first sporting event in New York after 9/11. The decade also saw the emergence of franchise mainstays like David Wright and Jose Reyes, the opening of Citi Field in 2009, and a dominant 2006 campaign where the team won 97 games to secure the National League East division title.
