"The Mets have played 105 postseason games, winning 59 and losing 46. When each was played, each was the biggest game of all time to us. That's how the postseason is when our team is involved. But when we pull back, years and decades following 105 final pitches, not all throb with the same meaning we attached to them as they alighted and unfolded in 1969, 1973, 1986, 1988, 1999, 2000, 2006, 2015, 2016, 2022, and 2024."
"Some we talk about constantly when we talk about the Mets. Some we think about probably every day since they happened. Some we attribute all kinds of enduring meshegas to even if they were only one game. Some thrust us forward. Some stopped us cold. Some dictated much of what came next. Some are memorialized and revered. Some, somehow, were plowed under by the games and seasons that came next."
"At the time of its initial publication, the Mets had participated in nine postseasons and 89 games therein. Five years later, those totals have risen to eleven and 105, respectively. Below we examine every fall festival in which the Mets have partaken and seek to contextualize every Wild Card (1), Wild Card Series (6), League Division Series (20), League Championship Series (49), and World Series (29) game the Mets have played, daring to put them in order, No. 105 to No. 1."
Every Mets postseason game through 2024 is ranked from No. 105 to No. 1 to gauge relative importance and historical resonance.
