The Mets are short for the Metropolitians. Obviously New York being the biggest Metropolitian area in the country the Metropolitians is a fitting name. Also the New York Knicks basketball team is short the Knickerbachers which is a nickname for someone who lives in New York City. I hope this helps. Go Mets.

The teams original name was the New York Metropolitans. Guess you can figure out the rest.

Also, they were named the Metropolitans to unite the boroughs of New York, since the Dodgers and Giants, who originally played in New York, left.

The Mets is short for Metropolitans, and rhymes with Jets. The Mets and Jets have been closely linked, as they used to share Shea and prior to that the Polo Gounds.

It is short for Metropolitans. Meaning people who live in a big city, a metropolis. New York City would definitely be considered a metropolis.
