(Ralph Kiner, Lorn Brown) (Bob Murphy, Steve LaMar) The 1982 New York Mets season was the 21st regular season for the Mets. They went 65–97 and finished in sixth place in the National League East, twenty-seven games behind the first place St. Louis Cardinals. They were managed by George Bamberger. They played home games at Shea Stadium.

Beginning that year, to supplement gameday broadcasts for cable viewers, Mets game broadcasts were simulcast on SportsChannel NY in addition to the usual WOR-TV telecast.

Joel Youngblood

On August 4, 1982, Youngblood became the first player in history to get hits for two different teams in two different cities on the same day. Youngblood had driven in the winning run for the Mets in an afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, and then singled in a night game for the Montreal Expos in Philadelphia after he had been traded. The two pitchers he hit safely against, Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies, are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
