The Official
Site of the New York Mets offers many choices
to great information about the Mets! I found this site to be a good
site for the novice and also for long time fans who want to keep up-to-date
on all of daily events of our beloved team.
This
page is a timeline that starts from 1959 and ends in 2000. The
only problem I have with this timeline is that it has not been updated
since 2000. The page also includes photos of some of the highlights
of the Mets' past seasons. It has a tab to click on for a list of
Mets Hall of Fame Members and the year they were inducted. Click
on theThe
Mets tab and get the names of the players on the 25 man
roster. Click on the "stat" tab and get the batting averages of the
players.
Another site that gives great information is Mets Online. This site features a Chat Area where you can share your views with other Met Fans. At this site you can also listen to highlights of Mets games taken from radio broadcasts. You can click on a tab and get some great photos of some past and present players.
Mets Online has a
good Shea Stadium tab that brings you to FAQ about Shea. Whatever
you want to know its here! This includes directions to Shea, and
where to get players' autographs.
Ballparks of Baseball shows Shea from all different angles, ticket
prices, seating scheme, and security measures to check before you visit.
The story of Mr. Met appears on the websiteNY Mets under the Fan Forum Topic. This gives you all the facts about the beloved Mets Mascot. All the vitals and birth information you need to be a Mr. Met expert is at your fingertips!

Piazza Links
and Webrings. This site is ok if
you are a Mike Piazza fan. You can't talk about the Mets without
mentioning Big Mike.
Personal NY Mets Fan Site - This site has some actual Met fan web sites that have some funny photos and personal information on the Mets. Most photos are with the Mets and fans who posed with the players. It has photos of people that have turned their homes into Mets shrines. The site has tabs to click on for the different fan's Mets pages.

Baseball Fan's Webring - if you want to be added to this webring you must be a true baseball fan and have a site related to baseball. Fill out the form, follow the directions and off you go! I found this a little too intense for me.
Newsgroups

you have a question that hasn't been answered on the the Mets sites.
This site lists all the baseball teams in the National and American Leagues.

There are a few good books about the history of the Mets. One such book is The New York Mets Encyclopedia, by Peter C. Bjarkman. This book gives a lot of photos and a good background of Mets history. Another good book is, Amazin' Mets: the miracle of '69. This book chronicles 1969, the first year the Mets won the World Series. Can't Anybody Play This Game, by Jimmy Breslin, gives a comical view of the team and the game of baseball.
I found this assignment quite challenging. I found it challenging in my knowledge of the Mets! It was also challenging in trying to put this page together. It was fun to work on, and I learned a few more things about my favorite team. The main lesson was learning how to use Communicator and putting my page on the Web. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed it. I might want to continue to update this page.
