2000	After rejecting a trade to the Mets, 36 year-old Barry Larkin agrees to a three-year, $27 million contract extension to continue to play for the Reds. The deal will keep the former Rookie of the Year (1986), NL's MVP (1995), and 11-time All-Star shortstop in Cincinnati until 2003.

The two games feature 59 hits, including eight home runs, off 17 pitchers. In the 1st inning of the nitecap, Dante Bichette, Andres Galarraga and Vinny Castilla hit consecutive homers off Pete Harnisch. Galarraga hits another in the 3rd, one of his six hits for the day.

1999: The Mets obtain P Kenny Rogers from the Athletics for OF Terrence Long and P Leoner Vasquez.
