A team of young stars establishing themselves with quality veterans mixed in. A group that fell short of the postseason, yet left fans feeling optimistic about the future. A season that set up a huge offseason and a breakthrough year to follow.
This was the 2005 Mets. It may also wind up being the 2024 Mets.
Mets fans look back fondly at that 2005 season because of what followed, the 2006 NL East championship team that came within a big hit of the World Series.
This team has a similar feel.
