The New York Mets had their season come to an end with a 10-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, but team owner Steve Cohen is still proud of their performance this year.

Cohen took to social media to express gratitude for the Mets' surprising run to the NLCS:

I can't say enough about the tenacity and grit this team displayed this season. We are all disappointed that it ended yesterday, but I'm so grateful <br>for the incredible run the team went on. The Mets galvanized not just NY fans but baseball fans all over America.There is much to…

New York started the season with a 24-35 record before turning things around and becoming the hottest team in the majors down the stretch on their way to clinching a wild-card spot with an 89-73 finish. The team endeared itself to fans thanks to its resiliency and light-hearted approach.

The Mets defeated the NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers and NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies on their way to meeting the Dodgers in the NLCS. Francisco Lindor emerged as an MVP-caliber player, and Mark Vientos established himself as a rising star.

It looks like the future is bright in New York, and Cohen is right to be confident that the Mets will be able to sustain this level of excellence for years to come.
