ABOUT US
MAKING BASEBALL HISTORY. EVERY. DAY.
National League baseball in New York was redefined on March 6, 1961 when the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club Inc. formally received a certificate of membership from leave president Warren Giles.
Of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs today, the case could be made that no other team has a more compelling franchise history than the New York Mets. From Casey Stengel to Yogi Berra, Marv Throneberry to Tom Seaver, Willie Mays, Tug McGraw, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Bobby Valentine, Pedro Martinez and Matt Harvey, the Mets are loaded with character(s). Then there are the Amazin’ seasons — 1962, 1969, 1973, 1986, 2000, 2006-2008 and 2015 — full of miracles, joy, hope and heartbreak.
Mets Rewind is designed for that purpose: To share team history in a distinct and entertaining format. We hope you — the baseball fan — enjoy the content. We encourage you to share your memories.

@SheridanFinAidMets Rewind is a must follow for Mets fans of all ages. A great history lesson for younger fans, and a fun trip down memory lane for those of us of a certain age. I wish Citi Field celebrated Mets history this well!

@MsMet_SusanAttended my first Mets game in 1970, with Tom Terrific on the mound. I have been hooked ever since. As Mets fans know, it hasn't always been easy and sometimes you really have to dig deep to recall those winning moments. This is why Mets Rewind is one of my favorites on Twitter.
Matt Ward
@TrafficmanmattMets Rewind covers it all. From the Polo Grounds to Big Shea and Citi Field. Fans of all ages can see the players, coaches and broadcasters from every era of Mets baseball -- and a few we had almost forgotten.

@THE_SamMaxwellEvery single day on my twitter feed, I am shocked, astounded, and, naturally, Amazed at the collection of content that not only informs of a variety of type of moments the Mets have had over their history. Mets Rewind might just be my favorite part of the #MetsTwitter feed. I love this team, for better or worse, and I love how Amazin’ Mets Rewind is at recollecting from the rich Metsian past.

@GregNuggetMets Rewind celebrates the history of our historic franchise with pictures and fun facts about former players. As a life long Met fan since the mid 1960s, I appreciate seeing players and special moments I've watched these many years. Mets Rewind will be particularly important as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the greatest season in Mets history - 1969.

russelltobI cannot adequately express how much enjoyment I receive when I log into Twitter and click on @metsrewind! The photos, video clips and other related Mets history is like taking a journey back in time aboard a time capsule. If ever there was to be a Mets Historical Society, Mets Rewind most certainly warrants an honorable mention for their amazing contributions.
MsMet_Susan
@MsMet_SusanMets Rewind is one of my favorites on Twitter. Takes me back to the days of Gil Hodges, Cleon Jones, Kid, Tug and others that aren't household names today, but still have a place in my heart. It's hard to read Mets Rewind and not find myself with a smile on my face.
