1965
Casey Stengel, who is recovering from a fractured hip suffered a month ago, officially announces his retirement as the skipper of the Mets, ending a 56-year career in baseball as a player, coach, and manager. At an hour-long press conference held at the Essex House, Casey's N.Y. residence, the "Old Perfessor' shares his disappointment in the team's performance during their first four and a half seasons in the National League and praises his interim replacement, Wes Westrum, the club's former pitching coach.
1966
Sandy Koufax, in his final decision facing the Mets, lasts only two innings, losing to Bob Friend at Shea Stadium, 10-4. The Dodgers Hall of Fame southpaw has compiled a 17-2 record against the lowly expansion team since their inception in 1962.

1973
The Mets lose to the Cardinals, 1-0, thanks to a Jose Cruz tenth inning walk-off single off Tom Seaver at Busch Stadium. The defeat drops the eventual National League champs into last place, 6.5 games behind the first-place Redbirds.
1986
New York releases Let's Go Mets Go!, a music video that features players, coaches, and fans, along with a cameo appearance by Joe Piscopo. Shelly Palmer, known professionally as Shelton Leigh Palmer, composed and produced the official team's theme song, that becomes a Gold Record, as well as directing and producing the accompanying music video, which will go triple platinum.




1999
At the Astrodome, Edgardo Alfonzo becomes the first player in the Mets' 38-year history to go 6-for-6, scoring six times, and drives in five runs. The second baseman hits three homers, two singles, and a double for a team-record 16 total bases in New York's 17-1 rout of Houston.

1992: Trailing 3 - 1 to the Reds in the 9th, Bobby Bonilla hits a dramatic 3-run homer off Rob Dibble to give the Mets a 4 - 3 win.

This group won't have to think about the fans booing too much longer. By the time mid-September rolls around and the 2021 Mets are toast, Citifield will be as empty as a K-Mart on a Tuesday morning

This isn’t about Pillar, he hasn’t been booed. This isn’t about Baez, he came from Chicago and can leave whenever he wants. This is 100% about the coddled one with the golden spoon that probably can’t handle pressure.

Maybe the fans can turn their boos to WAHHHHH, and hold up a giant pacifier?
