Yankees at Mets 1998 by Thomas Kolendra
An overflowing crowd at Shea Stadium on an 80 degree summer evening – June 26, 1998 . . . the Yankees™ in first place, the Mets™ in second, interleague play in its second season – these games count, folks – is this a preview of New York’s first subway series in 42 years? Does baseball get any better than this? Mike Piazza had joined the Mets a month before; the Yanks were on a record-breaking victory pace, and “Baseball Fever” was alive and well. “LET’S go YANK-ees” – “LET’S GO METS!” “LET’S go YANK-ees” – “LET’S GO METS!” Al Leiter uncorks the game’s first pitch to Chuck Knoblauch and we’re underway. The Yankees would win this one, 8-4 on a big home run by Paul O’Neill to up their record to 54-19. The Mets still hung just 6 ½ behind Atlanta. Alas, there would be no subway series in ’98, but this was one of those special nights of a very special year for New York City baseball.

Shea Stadium Matinee by William Feldman
It's the summer of 1991, a stunning day in New York's Borough of Queens. You have sensational seats just to the third base side of home plate for a game between the Mets and the Cardinals. Howard Johnson, hitting lefthanded, is at bat for the Mets with the bases empty in the bottom of the first. The huge scoreboard in right serves as both an inviting target and an imposing backdrop

Shea Stadium Classic by Thomas Kolendra
It's getting close to midnight, October 27, 1986, Game 7 of the World Series, and Jesse Orosco is on his knees exulting after striking out Marty Barrett for the final out of the game. Shea Stadium is rocking. After losing the first two games of the Series to the Red Sox, the Mets have stormed back to capture the second World Championship in their history and first since 1969. Gary Carter (C), Keith Hernandez (1B), Wally Backman (2B), Rafael Santana (SS), Ray Knight (3B), Mookie Wilson (LF), Lenny Dykstra (CF) and Darryl Strawberry (RF) are ready to join the celebration.

Seaver's One-Hitter by Bill Purdom
Tom Terrific. The Miracle Mets. It’s Wednesday night, July 9, 1969, at Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens. The Mets are on their way to a World Championship. Tom Seaver, 24, is headed for a 25-7 record and the National League Cy Young award. A perfect season, and on this night almost a perfect game for the future Hall of Fame righthander. The scoreboard tells the story: one out in the ninth, the Mets leading the Cubs 4-0 and No. 42, Jim Qualls at-bat for Chicago. To this point, Seaver has been perfect — 25 straight outs, 11 strikeouts, no walks, no baserunners. With 59,083 fans cheering wildly for every out and gripped by every pitch, Qualls, a 22-year old rookie, will end the dream with a solid single to left-center, between LF Cleon Jones and CF Tommie Agee. Agony. For a moment. And then unending ovation as Seaver gets the final two outs. It is the second-place Mets’ seventh straight victory; the first-place Cubs’ fifth straight loss. The Amazin’s are within three games. The rest, as they say, is glorious history. Note: The second baseman is Wayne Garrett.

Mike Piazzi '53 by James Fiorentino
There has never been a catcher who has hit like Mike, and he proved it again in ’98. He was traded from the Dodgers to the Marlins in May, and then on to the Mets a week later. He still managed to club 32 Home Runs and collect 111 RBI’s while batting .328. In ’97 the big backstop hit .362, which is the highest ever by a player at his position. Mike Piazzi is featured in the Topps 1953 tradition.
