1967 New York Mets season
The 1967 New York Mets season was the sixth regular season for the Mets. They went 61–101 and finished tenth in the National League, 40 1/2 games behind the NL pennant and World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals. They were managed by Wes Westrum and Salty Parker. They played home games at Shea Stadium. One of the only bright spots was rookie pitcher Tom Seaver (whom the Mets won the right to draft in a lottery) who posted a 2.76 ERA, a 16–13 record and was voted to his first All-Star Game. Seaver's arrival would help turn the Mets around from lovable losers to legitimate contenders.
Offseason
Regular season
Although the Mets took a step back from the previous year, 1967 marked the debut of pitcher Tom Seaver. On July 19, at Shea Stadium, he recorded 10 strikeouts (The first of 62 games he would achieve that feat as a Mets uniform) in a 7–2 win over the Atlanta Braves. For the season he recorded 16 wins and 170 strikeouts, a Mets record. He had 18 complete games and a 2.76 ERA, also a Mets record. It all adds up to Seaver being named The National League Rookie of the Year, and a berth in the All-Star Game.
