Offseason

[edit]

Regular season

[edit]

For the first time since 1990, the Mets finished the regular season with a winning record. Their offensive output was led by their corner infielders, the 23-year old third basemanEdgardo Alfonzo and the two-time former world champion first basemanJohn Olerud, the latter of whom was acquired in a trade with theToronto Blue Jays. Alfonzo, in his first full season as a starter, led the team with a .315 average and 163 hits while Olerud notched a .294 average and drove in 102 runs to lead the Mets in that category. CatcherTodd Hundley, a year removed from his record setting 1996 campaign, led the team in home runs with 30 and added 86 RBI, one of five Mets to record 70 or more (joining Alfonzo, Olerud,Bernard Gilkey, andButch Huskey).

After a year out of baseball,Rick Reed joined the Mets' starting rotation and led them with a 2.89 ERA. Bobby Jones led with fifteen wins, with Reed recording thirteen.John Franco saved 36 games, his most since 1988.

Jackie Robinson tribute

[edit]

On April 15 the Mets hosted ceremonies marking the 50th anniversary ofJackie Robinson's first game with theBrooklyn Dodgers before their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers atShea Stadium.[5] The ceremony was attended by PresidentBill Clinton and commissionerBud Selig announced that Robinson's jersey number, 42, would be retired permanently across baseball.[5] The Mets won the game 5–0.[6]

Subway Series

[edit]

Interleague play was brought to MLB in 1997 and the Mets playedNew York Yankees in June as part of the first ever regular season games that counted in the standings between the two teams (they had previously an exhibition game until 1983 during the season). The series took place atYankee Stadium, and Mets won the first game by a score of 6–0.[7]
