Wiki Education assignment: Communication and Culture

Rivalries

The rivalries that the Mets had with both the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals are historical. We should put both those teams under historical rivalries. The Mets' rivalry with the Pirates was due to both having high-profile rivalries with the Philadelphia Phillies and it peaked during the late 1980s and early 1990s when Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla played for the Pirates and Jim Leyland was their manager.

Also executives on both the Mets and Pirates recalled the two teams playing critical intense games at Three Rivers Stadium late in the season. SnoopyAndCharlieBrown202070 (talk) 01:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two teams playing each other in critical intense games just means they're in the same league, not that they are "rivals". You have not presented any sources here that would justify that claim. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:31, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Both the Mets and the Pirates were in the NL East during the 1980s and early 1990s. Both teams being in the same division and the rivalries they had with Philadelphia were the reasons. SnoopyAndCharlieBrown202070 (talk) 00:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please change “ The team ended the 2023 season with a 75–81 record finishing fourth in the NL East Division.” to “ The team ended the 2023 season with a 75–87 record finishing fourth in the NL East Division.” Since 75-87 was there record 69.118.230.235 (talk) 14:09, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Jefferies? No first reference

Do you see a first reference to a Jefferies?24.184.19.217 (talk) 23:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gregg Jefferies. Added a link, and reworked the sentence. It was clearly a relic of the movement of material to the History of the New York Mets article. oknazevad (talk) 00:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence—should say “are a team”

In the context of usage of the word “team” the first sentence of the article should say “…are a team” not “is a team.” See other MLB team pages for reference on this…it should be plural. It is referring to the Mets (or fill in the blank with any team- team names are plural). 173.54.192.139 (talk) 20:13, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the "Steve Cohen era" part of the history section, please add

In the 2024 MLB season, the Mets started off the year with a dismal 22-33 record. However, after a players-only meeting was held by shortstop Francisco Lindor on May 29, the Mets significantly improved the rest of the way.^[1] On May 31, the Mets acquired catcher Luis Torrens from the New York Yankees,^[2] and acquired relief pitchers Phil Maton, Ryne Stanek, Alex Young and Huascar Brazobán, as well as starting pitcher Paul Blackburn and outfielder Jesse Winker at the trade deadline.^[3] The Mets finished with a record of 89-73 and qualified for the playoffs. The Mets reached as far as the 2024 National League Championship Series before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in six games.^[1] Crutch292 (talk) 16:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Other than adding a mention of Jose Iglesias ("OMG" being super important to the team's entire personality this year) and, yes, probably having to mention Grimace, it's a pretty good summation. I can work in Iglesias easily (he was called up in the same flurry if roster moves that sent Baty down, so it's already referenced, though it's importance was unknown at the time), but I'm not adding Grimace yet. Otherwise I'm using yours verbatim. oknazevad (talk) 16:36, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oknazevad, For the mentions of OMG, I suppose we could mention, at the end, During the 2024 season, OMG, a song produced by infielder Iglesias, became the rallying cry for the Mets. Iglesias preformed the song on June 28 following a win against the Houston Astros. Since then, an OMG sign was produced were created and were used to celebrate every home run the Mets hit.^[4]^[5]
