Division NY Mets refers to the New York Mets baseball team, which is part of Major League Baseball's National League East Division. The team was founded in 1962 and has been managed by two legendary figures: Casey Stengel (7 letters) and William Shea (4 letters). Stengel was the Mets' first manager, leading the team from 1962 to 1965. Shea was an influential lawyer and sports promoter who was instrumental in bringing National League baseball back to New York City after the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants left for California in 1957. He was also the driving force behind the construction of Shea Stadium, which was the Mets' home field from 1964 to 2008.
