<P> In their 1962 inaugural season , the Mets posted a record of 40 -- 120 , the worst regular season record since MLB went to a 162 - game schedule ( two games were canceled ) . The team never finished better than second to last until the 1969 `` Miracle Mets '' beat the Baltimore Orioles in the 1969 World Series in what is considered one of the biggest upsets in World Series history . Since then , they have played in four additional World Series , including a dramatic run in 1973 that ended in a seven - game loss to the Oakland Athletics , a second championship in 1986 over the Boston Red Sox , a Subway Series loss against their cross-town rivals the New York Yankees in 2000 , and a five - game loss to the Kansas City Royals in 2015 . </P>
