This will be a rematch of the last time the Mets made the postseason, when New York swept the Dodgers, 3-0, in the 2006 NLDS prior to its NL Championship Series loss to the Cardinals.
Only two players from those 2006 teams will be in uniform this year: the Dodgers' Andre Ethier and the Mets' David Wright. While Ethier made just two appearances in the '06 NLDS -- as a defensive substitution and a pinch-hitter -- Wright played a key role in Game 1, hitting a two-run double in the sixth inning of the Mets' 6-5 win.
