1963

In a clear message of support for the German people, President John F. Kennedy delivers his iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech from the steps of the Rathaus Schoneberg in front of an audience estimated at 450,000. During his visit, large crowds greet JFK with banners, including one that reads, "Let's Go Mets."

1966

Ron Santo is struck in the face by a pitch thrown by Mets' starter Jack Fisher. The Cubs third baseman's fractured cheek ends his record consecutive streak at the hot corner at 390 games, but his 27-game hitting streak, one shy of the franchise mark, stays intact with a first-inning single.

 

1983

Rusty Staub ties the single-season record with his eighth consecutive pinch hit. 'Le Grand Orange' equals the 1958 mark established by Dave Philley of the Phillies when he singles in the ninth inning off reliever Ron Reed in the Mets' 8-4 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium.

2011

Three days after Jim Riggleman's sudden resignation, the Nationals name senior advisor Davey Johnson as the team's manager for the remainder of the season. The 68 year-old former skipper compiled an 1148-888 (.564) record during his 14 years in the dugout with the Mets, Dodgers, Reds, and Orioles, finishing lower than third place on only three occasions.

 

Baseball Reference:

1985: The Cubs beat the Mets, 7 - 3, ending a club-record-tying losing streak at 13 games, their longest loss streak since 1944.

2009: Brett Gardner collects five hits, including a triple and a homer, as the Yankees beat the Mets, 9 - 1, before a record-breaking crowd at Citi Field. Alex Rodriguez hits home run number 564 of his career, passing Reggie Jackson on the all-time list; Jackson was 6th at the time of his retirement in 1987 but falls to 12th now. Three errors by the Mets' infield in the 2nd lead to four runs.

2018 - Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson takes a leave of absence to fight a recurrence of cancer. He had already taken some time off to undergo chemotherapy after the 2015 season.

    What do the Mets pay Hugh Quattlebaum to do as the hitting coach? I'm curious as to what he does to prepare the hitters for games.

    Whatever Hugh is doing he is not working with players on hitting the curve ball. You would think at the very least, he'd have taking early batting practice to face one curve after another.

    It seems Smith has a “big head” mentality about being in first place. The team is in first place in spite of their lack of fundamentals and execution, and being dead last in baseball in runs per game isn’t going to keep them there. It’s ironic that on the Mets the younger players are the “spokesman”.

    Gus - fundamentals is not something this organization values...the last guy who did is now the team ambassador.
