Achieving the initial goal of clinching a playoff spot represents a significant milestone for any New York Mets team. While winning it all is the ultimate goal, making it into the postseason brings a sense of accomplishment, validation, and a tangible reward for their efforts, even as the team still strives for the ultimate prize. It’s the road to the championship and as they say, you have to be in it to win it.
The Mets have punched their ticket to the postseason 11 times in their history. Each team was unique. Each time was celebrated. Each one created memories that will last for a lifetime.
