The New York Mets have had their ups and downs since they were founded in 1962. The team has won just two World Series titles and five pennants over their 62 year history. Despite their constant heartbreak, Mets fans are known for being some of the most loyal and dedicated in the league.

The fan, whose identity is unknown, seems to be one of the most unlucky people in the world. Monday's 5-0 win versus the San Diego Padres was enough to finally reverse the curse for this one loyal supporter.

MLB fans took to Twitter to react to this incredible run of bad luck. The Mets have been known to experience the occasional losing season over the last two decades, but a streak like this seems unfathomable.

Many fans praised the fanbase for their die-hard support despite the tough times. The club has only reached the playoffs once in the last six years. In this century, they have only qualified for the postseason on four occasions.

Some people questioned whether the unlucky supporter was Mets superfan Frank Fleming. The popular online personality is known for his rants after the Mets suffer a losing streak.

The New York Mets have started the season with a subpar 6-6 record

Led by Max Scherzer's five shutout innings, the New York Mets managed to win the opening game of their series versus the Padres. The three-time Cy Young winner impressed after a shaky start to the season. He finished with six strikeouts and allowed just one hit.

Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil were the standout performers on the offensive side. Both players had one hit and two RBI's on the night.

After a streak of 28 straight losses, one has to question why any fan would put himself through this type of torture. Mets fans, however, are a special breed. They should be commended for their loyalty and dedication over the years.
