  2. The Mets and Yankees played 33 regular season games against one another at Shea. The Yanks won 17 and the Mets 16.

  3. The Yankees all-time record at Shea, including the 2000 World Series, the 1974 and '75 regular seasons, the games vs. the Mets in interleague play and one game against the Angels in 1998, was 110 and 86.
