when did the new york mets became a team?
1962
in 1961, the first washington senators franchise moved to minneapolis–st. paul to become the minnesota twins. two new teams were added to the american league at the same time: the los angeles angels (who soon moved from downtown l.a. to nearby anaheim) and a new washington senators franchise. the nl added the houston astros and the new york mets in 1962. the astros (known as the "colt .45s" during their first three seasons) became the first southern major league franchise since the louisville colonels folded in 1899 and the first franchise to be located along the gulf coast. the mets established a reputation for futility by going 40–120 during their first season of play in the nation's media capital—and by playing only a little better in subsequent campaigns—but in their eighth season (1969) the mets became the first of the 1960s expansion teams to play in the postseason, culminating in a world series title over the heavily favored baltimore orioles.
