Since 1962 New Yorkers have cheered and jeered the exploits of the New York Mets on the baseball diamond. A century before these Amazins took the field, there was another team of New York Metropolitans being cheered and jeered by the citizenry. The New York Metropolitan Police Department, nicknamed 'Mets' existed only from 1857 to 1870. This is the story of their short, but fascinating life span.
