Plaques honoring famous New York Mets baseball players in Citi Field's Hall of Fame.

The New York Mets Hall of Fame was created to honor the amazing careers of former New York Mets players, managers, broadcasters, and executives. Right now, there are 30 special people in this Hall of Fame.

At first, the Hall of Fame was located in the Diamond Club at Shea Stadium. Later, it moved to the Mets Hall of Fame and Museum at Citi Field, which opened in April 2010. In 2009, during Citi Field’s first season, the Hall of Fame was part of the Mets Team Store.

After the 2023 season, the Hall of Fame was moved again to the Field Level of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. The museum was closed for a while to make the Team Store bigger, but it reopened in a smaller space near the Bullpen Gate in 2024.
