Citi Field — The first college game at Citi Field was on March 30, 2009, not March 29, 2009.
Citi Field — The Jackie Robinson Rotunda was not enclosed by April 13, 2008; it was completed later in 2008.
The Pride of New York — The claim that 'Tom Seaver and Darryl Strawberry finished their home runs on these fields' is misleading: Tom Seaver was a pitcher, not a hitter known for home runs; he hit only 12 career home runs, none of which are iconic 'finished home runs' in the way impl
8th Inning Stretch — The tradition of playing 'New York, New York' after the top of the 8th inning began at Shea Stadium, not Citi Field. It was introduced during the 2000 season at Shea, not at Citi Field which opened in 2009.
Keith Hernandez — The entry claims Hernandez nearly enrolled at Serra High School, which also graduated Barry Bonds and Tom Brady. This is unsubstantiated; Hernandez attended Capuchino High School, and Tom Brady attended a different Serra High School in San Mateo.
Keith Hernandez — The entry states Hernandez switched to number 17 because the Mets had retired number 37 for Casey Stengel. In fact, number 37 was not retired for Stengel until later, and Hernandez wanted 37 but it was taken by John Pacella at the time of the trade.
David Wright — Wright grew up a fan of the Norfolk Tides and Baltimore Orioles, not the Mets
David Wright — Wright was the fourth official captain in franchise history, after Keith Hernandez, John Franco, and Gary Carter
The 2015 Wild Card Contention — Yoenis Céspedes was not an All-Star in 2015; he was acquired after the All-Star Game and did not make the team that season.
1986 World Series Championship — Ray Knight was not struggling at the plate; he hit .391 with 5 RBIs in the series.
1986 World Series Championship — Dwight Gooden's performance in Game 1 was not dominant; he lost 1-0, allowing 1 run in 5 innings.
David Wright Career Home Runs Record — The claim that David Wright was the first shortstop ever to hit 30 home runs in a season for the Mets is inaccurate; Kevin Elster hit 30 home runs as a shortstop for the Mets in 1996.
