1975
Mike Vail fails to break the major league rookie record for consecutive games with a hit shared by Richie Ashburn (1948, Phillies) and Alvin Dark (1948, Braves). The 23 year-old freshman left fielder has plenty of opportunities to hit safely in his 24th straight game, coming to the plate eight times in the Mets' 18-inning marathon with Montreal, a 4-3 victory over the Expos at Shea Stadium.
2007
David Wright, homering in the seventh inning of a 10-6 loss to Philadelphia at Shea Stadium, becomes the 30th member of the 30-30 club. Returning to the dugout, the Mets third baseman is greeted by hitting coach Howard Johnson, who along with Darryl Strawberry are the other Metropolitans to have also stolen thirty bases and hit 30 homers in the same season.


1966 - The Mets (5) and Giants (3) tie a major-league record by using eight pinch hitters in the 9th inning as the Mets win, 5 - 4. Willie McCovey hits a 500-foot home run, judged the longest ever at Candlestick Park.

1971: At New York, lefty Juan Pizarro shuts out the Mets and Tom Seaver, 1 - 0. Pizarro does it all, clubbing a solo homer to win his own game. It's Pizarro's second shutout in a row and Seaver's first loss after seven straight wins. Tom's last loss was August 1st, also to Pizarro.

1996: In their 5 - 2 loss to the Braves, Mets OF Lance Johnson hits his 20th triple. He's the first National Leaguer to reach that plateau since Willie Mays in 1957.

    I love the playoff push, don’t you?

    Alonso rbbed of another HR…move fences in.

    At least Alvarez is ready. He is a HR machine. Call him up.

    Spoke with a friend in NYC yesterday, and he told me word is Alonso doesn’t have many friends on the team due to his ripping shirts off and some other stuff. It would be nice if he can mature a bit, but seems like a ball player from the 1930’s. Nonetheless, that’s not what we want to hear.

    Alonso could use a little more verbal and other restraint. Bats talk loudest.
