New York Mets released Gil Hodges on May 22, 1963.

1998

The Mets trade Preston Wilson, Geoff Goetz, and Ed Yarnall to the Marlins for Mike Piazza. Florida had acquired the All-Star catcher last week from the Dodgers, along with Todd Zeile in exchange for Gary Sheffield, Bobby Bonilla, Charles Johnson, Jim Eisenreich, and Manuel Barrios.

Baseball Reference:

1963: The all-time shortest managerial career ends after one game - a loss - when Eddie Yost, who replaced Mickey Vernon (14-26) as the Senators' pilot, is replaced by Gil Hodges. Hodges was acquired today from the Mets, who receive veteran Jimmy Piersall in return.

Los Angeles's Don Drysdale beats the Mets, 7 - 3, on two hits - homers by Duke Snider and Tim Harkness.

1988 - Pedro Guerrero throws his bat at David Cone after being hit by a pitch in the Dodgers' 5 - 2 loss to the Mets. He will be suspended for four games by National League president Bart Giamatti. 

2019 - Veteran OF Rajai Davis has a surreal day: at 5:00 PM, he is taking batting practice with the Syracuse Mets in Allentown, PA, in anticipation of an evening game against the Lehigh Valley IronPigs of the International League. That's when he gets the news that he has been called up to the major league Mets. He hires a driver to take him to Citi Field and after a two-hour ride, arrives there in the 3rd inning. He gets lost on his way to the clubhouse and has to ask for directions. He finally meets his manager and teammates in the 5th. He is then sent to pinch-hit for Drew Gagnon in the bottom of the 8th and hits a three-run homer off Sean Doolittle of the Nationals, capping a six-run inning. The Mets win the game, 6 - 1.

Mack’s Blast From The Past: May 22nd 2014 -- Mets 5, Dodgers 3. (Box Score).  Jonathan Niese got the win and David Wright and Curtis Granderson each went 2 for 4.

    Big win. Fargas looking like he belongs, and to me ought to replace Almora.

    Big Lee, Hager hits....more Mets magic.

    Why play Maybin now that Lee got a hit. See what he can do. Kids may get on a roll together.

    Sorry Tom I think I see some pigs flying by my window. People liking two of my favorites - Fargas, and Nido. The next thing that will happen is that people will start liking Yoel Romero.

    I hope Peraza is ok and doesn't need to go on the DL. Mets may have to trade with the Phillies and bring back Ruben Tejada.

    Ruben would be full circle.

    Nido for President, with Fargas as his running mate.

    Man, Yankees are lucky, 1-1 in 9th, Chapman finally does NOT fan someone, guy hits a hot shot to third for a triple play.

    Any word on Nimmo? We need regulars back, with all due respect. Braves scored 20 - their bats are wide awake.

    I see Tylor Megill is starting for Bingo today. I wish he were starting for the Mets instead.

    heredia is hitting over .300 as Braves CF, BTW.

    Nimmo is with the big league club receiving treatment. He played a few games for Syracuse, felt discomfort and was shut back down.
