The 1992 New York Mets season was the 31st regular season for the Mets. The Mets entered the season attempting to improve on their 1991 season, where due in part to a second half collapse they finished 78–84 and recorded their first losing record since 1983. Instead, they had a worse record of 72–90, missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. All 81 of the Mets' home games were played at Shea Stadium.

Entering the season with the highest payroll in baseball, the 1992 Mets are considered one of the most disappointing teams in team history.[1] The 1992 Mets were covered in depth in the book “The Worst Team Money Could Buy” by Bob Klapisch and John Harper. On the last day the season, Mets players issued an apology letter to the fans, which was signed by each player.[2]
