1987

Davey Johnson surpasses Gil Hodges as the winningest manager in Mets history with his 340th win, a 4-3 triumph over the Giants at Candlestick Park. The New York skipper, who has averaged 98 victories during his first three seasons, will compile a 595-417 record (.588) during his six-plus years with the team.

2012

A sign bearing the likeness of Mike Piazza connecting for his decisive eighth-inning home run in the Mets' 3-2 victory against Atlanta in the first professional sports event in New York City following the terrorist attacks of 9/11 proves to be the winning entry in the Mets' revival of Banner Day, a team tradition started in 1963 that lasted until 1996. The artwork, created by cousins Olivia Nuzzo and Stephanie Giangrande, included a section of the NYC's former skyline, with the WTC towers silhouetted above Piazza's heroic homer in mid-swing above the words, "The home run that helped heal N.Y. God Bless America. Let's Go Mets."

 

 

Baseball Reference:

2010:Mike Pelfrey pitches the Mets' third consecutive shutout over the Phillies, 3 - 0 at Citi Field. The Phillies' hitting woes started even before coming to New York, when they were shut out for eight innings by veteran knuckleballer Tim Wakefield two days before facing the Mets. The Mets' own knuckleballer, R.A. Dickey, baffled the Phils in the first game of the series, followed by Japanese rookie Hisanori Takahashi in the second game. The Mets have only swept a series with three shutouts one other time in their history, during their Amazin' year of 1969, also against Philadelphia.

2019 - Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers continues to have a superlative season. Today, in a 9 - 5 win over the Mets, he hits his 19th homer of the year and also throws out two baserunners. He nabs Michael Conforto at home in the 1st, and then gets Carlos Gomez at third base in the 8th, completing a double play on a throw from just in front of the warning track in right field.

    Syracuse leading after 5 is a moral victory.

    Article on the successful .136 hitter very interesting.

    With McKinney, and if Pete returns healthy, will we then be able to detect an offensive pulse?

    Lindor can make the boo birds go away with 6 hits in the DH today

    LINDOR WINS FIRST QUARTER MDP....Most Durable Player. Everyone else outside the bullpen has abstained.

    Question of the day.

    Who were the two players that the Yankees traded to the Blue Jays to acquire J.A. Happ a few years ago?

    Answer: Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney. Now both Mets.

    Wow Bob...it is a small baseball world. Mets need to get more prospects like that that can be dealt for solid Major League players.

    John:

    I think the Mets may be playing catch-up in that department for a few years.
