"It's more than just, 'pass the baton.' It's, 'what do you do when you have the baton? Do you hold up your leg of the race?'"

Buck Showalter is incredibly proud of this line he came up with on the Mets' offense: pic.twitter.com/YJH61TdFnA

"The situation doesn't always dictate a home run. We keep preaching pass the baton. It's not always you that has to get it done."

Jon Heyman NY Post: Buck Ball: Mets’ offense thriving with style that’s uniquely its own. "Give them an inch, and they will take 90 feet en route to that 360-foot tour. They did it again before a holiday crowd Monday, combining their usual array of singles, speed, sacrifice flies and a hit batsman (a specialty of theirs) to beat the Marlins 6-0 in the most typical of Mets victories."

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

• Bill Shea (1907)
• Jeff Musselman (1963)

Died on this date:

• Darryl Hamilton (2015)

Transactions:
New York Mets sold Al Luplow to the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 21, 1967.

New York Mets traded Brian Ostrosser to the Cleveland Indians for Dwain Anderson on June 21, 1974.

National Pastime.com: 

1964	Despite the four errors made by the Phillies, Rick Wise wins the first of his 188 major league victories when Philadelphia beats the Mets at Shea Stadium in the nightcap of a twin bill, 8-2. The 18 year-old rookie right-hander's accomplishment receives little fanfare when his effort follows Jim Bunning's perfect game in the opener.
1964	On an unseasonably warm Father's Day, Phillies' hurler Jim Bunning becomes the first modern pitcher to toss a no-hitter in both leagues when he throws a perfect game to beat the Mets, 6-0. Gus Triandos also becomes the first catcher to handle a no-hitter in both leagues.
2006	Jose Reyes becomes the ninth player in Mets history to hit for the cycle. The 23 year-old shortstop hits a leadoff homer in the first, followed by a double in the third, then a triple in the fifth, and completes the feat with an eighth-inning single in the team's 5-4 loss to the Reds at Shea Stadium.

Baseball Reference:

1963 - The Mets beat the Phillies, 3-1; only pitchers Al Jackson and Cal McLish get multiple hits. The next game where the only multi-hit players are the opposing starters will be 50 years later, August 4, 2013.

2000:  The New York Mets announce that SS Rey Ordonez will be out for the season because his broken left forearm is not healing properly.
