Mets Junkies: Mets Trade Miguel Castro For Joely Rodriguez.
Mets.com: "RodrÃguez, 30, posted a 4.66 ERA between the Rangers and Yankees last season and has allowed five runs in two appearances this spring. But the Dominican native thrived against left-handed hitters in 2021, holding them to a .203/.288/.271 slash line."
"The circumstances aligned."

1966 |
On the nationally-televised Hullabaloo, a program which showcases
rock and roll groups, host Soupy Sales is joined by his two sons, Tony and
Hunt, to perform Meet the Mets, with the unlikely tune also accompanied by
the show's go-go dancers halfway through the song (Video link here).
The Sales' children were on the program as guests musicians, featuring their
rock and roll band, Tony and the Tigers. |
1988 |
In a 10-6 victory over the Expos, Kevin McReynolds
and Darryl Strawberry
each hit a pair of home runs, helping the Mets to establish an Opening Day
record with six homers. The 'Strawman's' second shot, estimated at 525 feet,
hits above the dome's light rim and is believed to be the longest dinger ever
stroked at Olympic Stadium. |
1994 |
On Opening Day at Wrigley Field in the Cubs' 12-8 loss to
New York, Tuffy Rhodes,
who has hit only five round-trippers in his first 280 major league at-bats,
becomes the first player to homer in his first three at-bats of the season.
The three solo home runs, all off Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden,
will account for nearly half of the outfielder's total for the year when he
finishes the campaign with only eight round-trippers. |
1994 |
Before the Cubs' 12-8 Opening Day loss to the Mets at
Wrigley Field, Hillary Clinton becomes the second first lady to throw out the
ceremonial first pitch of the baseball season. Bill's wife then joins Harry
Caray in the broadcast booth and sings "Take Me Out To The
Ballgame" with the beloved announcer during the seventh inning stretch. |
2003 |
The Coneheads stage a reunion at Shea Stadium as David Cone
returns to the mound after taking a year off and hurls an impressive five
innings of shutout ball in the Mets' 4-0 victory over the Expos. In memory of
one of the founders of this unique idea which started in 1988, the group
hangs a banner featuring a picture of Scott Saber, who was killed during the
terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, smiling in his Conehead. |
2018 - Major League Baseball experiments with a new medium
as today's game between the Phillies and Mets
is broadcast live exclusively on "Facebook Watch", a new application
recently launched by the social media giant. Reviews are mixed, as viewers complain
about the size of the graphics relative to that of most laptop or tablet
screens and the invasive nature of streaming comments by users (which can be
turned off, although this possibility is not readily apparent to many viewers,
it seems). This is clearly an attempt to interest some younger viewers who have
tuned out traditional media in watching a live game. But some of the kinks will
need to be worked out before it can dethrone the well-regarded MLB.TV,
which already provides live and delayed game coverage on a huge variety of
connected devices.
