Good Morning. Happy Birthday Daniel Murphy and Cyclones and Rumble Ponies Pitcher Mitch Ragan. Mets lose to Nationals 7-3, deGrom has shoulder stiffness, and some pretty cool upgrades to Citi Field.

Just like that, Jacob deGrom's status for Opening Day is very much in doubt. @ladsonbill24 with the quick update:https://t.co/IztlHtXweS

|
1963 |
Former Brooklyn Dodger Duke Snider
returns to New York when the Mets purchase him from LA for $40,000. The 36
year-old outfielder, who will represent New York in the All-Star Game, will
be told at the end of the season by Buzzi Bavasi, his former GM, that the
Yankees had asked for him to back up Mickey Mantle
before he was dealt to the team the across the river. |
|
1982 |
The Mets send outfielder Lee Mazzilli
to Texas for rookie starters Ron Darling
and Walt Terrell.
This deal isn't well-received at the time, but the trade turns out to be a
steal for New York when the two right-handers combine for 118 victories
during their tenure with the team. |
|
1987 |
Mets phenom pitcher Dwight Gooden
avoids suspension for substance abuse by agreeing to enter a drug rehab
facility. The talented 22 year-old right-hander will make his first start on
June 5 and will win 15 games for the team despite missing the first two
months of the season. |
|
1996 |
The Mets rally overcome a 6-0 deficit, beating the
Cardinals at Shea Stadium, 7-6. The decisive run in the biggest Opening Day
comeback of the century scores as a result of an unusual double play when
Bernard Gilkey, the base runner on first, is doubled up on Rico Brogna's
short sac fly to right field (RF-1B-SS-1B-SS), allowing Lance Johnson to
cross home plate on the play. |
|
1997 |
Setting a record for the most runs scored in one inning of
an Opening Day contest this century, the Padres score 11 runs in the bottom
of the sixth inning en route to a 12-5 rout of the Mets. Chris Gomez, Rickey
Henderson, and Quilvio Veras lead the attack with back-to-back-to-back home
runs. |
|
2002 |
The Mets, with a 6-2 victory over the Bucs at Shea
Stadium, improve their mark for Opening Day victories to 26-15 (.634), a
major league record. The New York expansion team didn't win their first
season opener until the ninth year of the franchise's existence. |
|
2008 |
With two outs in the 10th inning, Robert Andino's first
career round-tripper is a memorable one as his walk-off homer to deep left
off Matt Wise gives the Marlins a 5-4 victory over the Mets at Dolphin
Stadium. The post-game celebration is short-lived when the Miami native takes
off for home to meet police after getting a text message from his wife
informing him their house may have an intruder. |
|
2015 |
Auction items featured in Sotheby's "New York
Sale" include the 1967 Mets' bullpen cart, which is shaped like a
baseball wearing a cap. The electric-powered vehicle, valued between $20,000
and $30,000, fetches an amazing high bid of $125,000. |
1963 - The New York Mets purchase veteran outfielder Duke Snider
from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Snider, one of the most popular players in the
New York City area, starred for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1957. The
future Hall of Famer will hit 14 home runs for the Mets this year.
1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a
fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch,
whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton
offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several
staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.
2011: Marlins P Josh Johnson takes a no-hitter into the 7th
inning, and C John Buck, in his first game for the team, hits a grand slam in
Florida's 6 - 2 Opening Day win over the New York Mets. Logan Morrison also
homers for the Fish, while Willie Harris breaks the no-no bid with a double to
lead off the 7th.
2013: For the first time since the New York Mets started
play in 1962, both New York teams open the season at home on the same day. The
Mets improve their Opening Day record to a major league best 34-18 by crushing
the Padres, 11 - 2, behind the pitching of Jon Niese
and a double and grand slam from new CF Collin
Cowgill. Things aren't so good for the Yankees, who lose to the Red Sox, 8
- 2.
4/1/1996 In his MLB debut, Rey Ordóñez makes a terrific play from his knees to throw out Royce Clayton at the plate. The Mets overcome a 6-0 deficit to beat the Cardinals 7-6 on Opening Day. pic.twitter.com/lailnqlMvo
