1964

Frank Thomas, pinch-hitting for Roy McMillan, strokes a two-out, two-run homer off Curt Simmons, giving the Mets a 4–3 victory over the Cardinals at Shea Stadium. The round-tripper comes in the outfielder’s first at-bat in five weeks, due to being sidelined by a glandular infection.

1969

Tom Seaver's near-perfect game, immortalized as "The Imperfect Game," is broken up when Cubs' rookie outfielder Jim Qualls, a lifetime .223 hitter who will finish his career with only 31 hits, singles into center field. The 24 year-old right-hander, who tosses a five one-hitters for the Mets, will finally get his no-no in 1978 against St. Louis pitching for the Reds. You Tube:

 



1972

Striking out three Red Sox batters in the second inning en route to a 16 K complete game performance against Boston, Nolan Ryan becomes the third pitcher in baseball history to have struck out the side on nine pitches twice during his career. The Angels fireballer, who first did it with the Mets in 1968, joins Lefty Grove (twice in 1938) and Sandy Koufax (1962 and 1964) as the other hurlers who have accomplished the feat.

1973

Interrupting Board Chairman M. Donald Grant's pep talk during a team meeting, Mets reliever Tug McGraw shouts out the words, "Ya Gotta Believe," which will become the rallying cry for the club, climbing out of the cellar en route to the NL pennant. Although New York beats Houston, 2-1, in 12 innings, their closer's words of encouragement will not immediately light a fire under the team, as they will continue to struggle until the middle of August.

 

Baseball Reference:

1970On the first anniversary of his near-perfect game, Tom Seaver hits his first major league home run off Rich Nye of the Expos. Seaver goes on to pitch a complete game three-hitter for a 7 - 1 Mets win at Shea Stadium.

1988Nolan Ryan wins his 100th game as an Astro, 6 - 3 over the Mets, and becomes the 7th pitcher in major league history to win 100 for two different clubs. Ryan won 138 games for the California Angels in the 1970s.

1998Benny AgbayaniNorfolk Tides outfielder about to be called up to the Mets, is married at home plate to his fiancee Neila before the Triple-A All-Star Game between the International and Pacific Coast Leagues. Agbayani, from Hawaii, and his bride wear Hawaiian shirts and have a receiving line of bat-toting ballplayers. The IL whips the PCL, 8 - 4.

2000: The Yankees lose to Mike Hampton and the Mets, 2 - 0. Armando Benitez closes for the Mets, while Andy Pettitte is the loser. The Yanks also lose Shane Spencer, who blows out his knee and ends his season. The game at Shea Stadium draws 54,283, the largest regular season crowd for the Mets since 1970.
