When the Mets hired Sandy Alderson as their general manager in 2010, the team was in the dumps: on the field, a series of disappointing seasons; off the field, severe financial constraints caused in part by the owners’ investments with Bernie Madoff. Six years later, the Mets are flying high, thanks largely to Mr. Alderson, 68. A former Marine lieutenant and Vietnam veteran with a Harvard Law degree, he brought stability and confidence to the front office, and in 2015 the team made a surprise trip to the World Series. This year the Mets have had a solid start, with a talented pitching staff and one of the best records in the National League.
