New York Mets 2000 Subway Series 59Fifty New Era Fitted Hat finally restocked in the home team color with a gray under brim and white sweatband. Highlighted by MVP-caliber seasons from Edgardo Alfonzo and Mike Piazza as well as strong pitching performances from Al Leiter and Mike Hampton, the New York Mets won 94 games in the regular season to capture the Wild Card by 8 games (though they lost the NL East to the Atlanta Braves by 1.0 games). By winning the 1999 and 2000 Wild Card, the Mets achieved their first back-to-back post-season appearances in franchise history, a feat that remains unmatched in their history as of 2015. The Mets would beat the 97-game winning San Francisco Giants in the NL Division Series 3-1 and the 95-game winning St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 in the NL Championship Series. The 2000 World Series was the first World Series appearance for the Mets since their championship in 1986 and their second post-season appearance since 1988.
