The full nickname of the New York Mets National League Baseball Club, which began their first season of play in 1962. The team colors are blue (taken from the defunct Brooklyn Dodgers) and orange (taken from the defunct New York Baseball Giants).
The Metropolitans won the World Series in 1969 and 1986.
Home games are played in William A. Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens, which is easily accessible by using the MTA 7 Train (Willets Point/Shea Stadium station on the NYC Subway - all express trains stop at Shea), LIRR, Grand Central Parkway, and the Van Wyck Expressway (Interstate 678).
The team's mascot is Mr. Met, arguably the most recognizable mascot in baseball.
All 162 regular season, and any additional postseason games are broadcast on WFAN (660AM), which broadcasts a 50,000 watt clear channel signal from High Island, a private island owned by Viacom next to City Island, in the Bronx. On clear nights, the signal can be heard as far south as Cuba. The flagship radio play-by-play announcer is Gary Cohen. Howie Rose calls certain innings and gives color commentary, while Ed Coleman is in charge of "Mets Extra," a broadcast that precedes and follows every Mets game.
Television broadcasts will be shown on the Mets own television network, which will begin operation in the first quarter of 2006.
The Metropolitans play in the National League's East Division, which also includes the Montréal Expos, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Atlanta Braves, and the (Miami) Florida Marlins.
Hall of Famers who have donned the Metropolitans uniform (but were not necessarily inducted as Mets): Richie Ashburn, Yogi Berra (NYM player and manager), Gary Carter, Willie Mays, Eddie Murray, Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver, Duke Snider, Warren Spahn, and Casey Stengel (manager).
There has never been a no-hitter thrown by a Metropolitans pitcher.

Get the Metropolitans mug.Colloquial term for the mobile-phone service provider metroPCS. The "POS" stands for "piece of shit", because of the notoriously poor service and support provided.
My cell phone company is metroPOS. So my calls are always getting dropped, I can't even use my phone outside a certain limited area, and I can't usually get connected to anyone at the so-called customer service line. If I have a real problem I have to go into the office in person. But it's relatively cheap, I don't have to sign any contract, and I get unlimited calling within the contiguous 48 states. Too bad my sister lives in Honolulu, so I have to text her and have her call me back when I want to talk to her.

One of the largest robot heroes starting in the G1 Transformers toy line and cartoon series; Metroplex was a colossal Autobot who could transform into a city as well as a rolling battle station. His arch rival was the Decepticon, Tripticon who was somewhat larger and also able to transform into a city/battle station.
The most recent version of Metroplex is from the Cybertron series which transforms into a giant tank-like vehicle and also has an additional transforming feature that allows him to become taller and thinner than usual.
