Metstradamus: All Is Now As It Should Have Been Then. "A theme that was prevalent about the unveiling of the beautiful Tom Seaver statue before today’s home opener was that it “took too long”. “Long overdue” was another one. It’s a reminder that Tom should have been alive to see this. As great as the ceremony was and as much as it was visually stunning to see the presentation, there will always be a sense for me that there was something, or somebody missing."

Mets360:

  • Brian Joura - Gut Reaction: Mets 10, Diamondbacks 3 (4/15/22) "The D’Backs are probably the worst team in the National League and this was the Mets’ 11th-straight win over Arizona in Citi Field. But it’s important to win games against the bottom dwellers and the Mets are taking care of business in that department."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

National Pastime.com:

1964

Water from the Gowanus Canal, which flows near Dodgers' old home Ebbets Field, and water from the Harlem River, located near the Polo Grounds, once the Giants and the Mets home ballpark, is blessed and used to christened Shea Stadium. The ballpark's namesake, Bill Shea, credited with bringing the National League back to New York, pours the water from two bottles, blessing the Flushing Meadow structure on the eve of its debut.

1966

On the second day of the season, Jack Fischer gives up just five hits in his complete-game effort, beating Atlanta at Shea Stadium, 3-1. The win represents the Mets' earliest victory in franchise history.

 Baseball Reference:

2011 - The Mets are swept in a doubleheader for the second time in three days as they go down, 4 - 2 and 4 - 0, to the Atlanta Braves. In the second game, Jair Jurrjens throws seven shutout innings in his return from the disabled list, while Alex Gonzalez is the hero in the opener, hitting two of the Braves' four solo homers in support of Derek Lowe's pitching. The Mets have now lost seven in a row.

2013: The Rockies battle the elements to sweep the Mets in a doubleheader at home. The opener is delayed by two hours as an 8-inch snowfall has to be removed from the field, with Colorado owner Dick Monfort pitching in by manning a shovel, and the day concludes when Jordan Pacheco singles home the winning run in the 10th inning of the second game, for a 9 - 8 win. The Rockies also win the opener, 8 - 4, as the games are played in frigid conditions and occasional snow flurries. Reporters quip that there are more snowmen than fans at Coors Field.

2015:  Giancarlo Stanton becomes the Marlins all-time leading home run hitter when he slugs #155 for his career off Dillon Gee of the Mets. He was tied with Dan Uggla since being hit in the face with a pitch late in the 2014 season. However, the Mets go on to win, 7 - 5.
