Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:
New York Mets purchased Jerry May from the Kansas City Royals on May 14, 1973.

New York Mets signed free agent Ced Landrum on May 14, 1993.

National Pastime.com:  

1972

After twenty-one seasons with the Giants, 41 year-old Willie Mays makes a dramatic return to New York in his debut with the Mets when he hits a game-winning home run off Don Carrithers to defeat his former team, 5-4. The 'Say Hey Kid's' 647th career homer in the fifth breaks a 4-4 deadlock.

2006

On Mother's Day, with his mom in the stands, Bill Hall hits a walk-off home run to beat the Mets at Miller Park, 6-5. The Milwaukee center fielder, joining many other major league players, uses a pink bat in MLB's effort to raise public awareness of breast cancer.

2009

The Mets collect a franchise-record seven stolen bases in their 7-4 victory over the Giants at AT&T Park. Ironically, the team sets the club mark without the help of a sidelined Jose Reyes, New York's all-time career leader in thefts.

Baseball Reference:

2014 - Masahiro Tanaka pitches his first major league shutout as the Yankees defeat the Mets, 4 - 0. The Japanese off-season signee is now 6-0 with a 2.17 ERA after 8 starts in the majors. The Yankees' win follows 6 straight losses to the Mets, dating back to last season.

Raw,

Tony Dibrell is on the Binghamton Roster - he pitched one game, 2.1 innings, 1 run.

Michel Otanez has pitched 3 games for Brooklyn - 4 runs in 2.2 innings .

Jordany Ventura is on the 60 day DL

Joshua Cornielly - he would most likely be down in St. Lucie - I will ask around (my contacts are in Syracuse and Binghamton)
