1963 |
In the second game of a
doubleheader, Auburn's Paul Alspach strikes out 24 New York-Penn League
Pirate batters en route to a 1-0 victory at Batavia's MacArthur Stadium. The
21-year-old Mets farmhand's performance breaks the NYPL's strikeout record of
20, previously shared by Jerry Kleinsmith (Jamestown, 1948) and Ron Owen
(Hornell, 1955). |

2004 |
During the memorial service at St.
Patrick's Cathedral in front of pews packed with Mets fans, team owner Fred
Wilpon and former broadcast partner Gary Thorne deliver eulogies remembering
the late Hall of Famer Bob Murphy. At the age of 79, 'Murph' after supplying
42 years of Happy Recaps for the Mets and a half of a century broadcasting
big-league games that included stints with the Red Sox and Orioles, lost his
battle with lung cancer. |

2005 |
Mets outfielders Carlos Beltran
and Mike Cameron, running at full speed in an attempt to catch David Ross'
seventh-inning short fly to short right-center, dive head-first into each
other, causing a horrific on-field collision. Right fielder Cameron, who
suffers a broken nose and multiple fractures of both cheekbones, will undergo
facial surgery in San Diego, with his teammate faring a bit better, suffering
a concussion and a small fracture in his cheekbone. |

2015 |
The Blue Jays, Rays, Marlins,
Mets, Indians, Cubs, Royals, White Sox, Twins, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Mariners,
Padres, Dodgers, and Giants all win, marking the first time every home team
is victorious in a full slate of games. The unique occurrence became a
reality when the last two completed games end in extra innings in Cleveland
and Seattle, with the host clubs enjoying a walk-off victory. |
1971: Dave Roberts for the Padres and Tom Seaver for the Mets lock up in a classic pitchers duel, both pitching shutout ball for 10 innings, at which point Seaver is replaced by a pinch-hitter, having compiled 14 strikeouts. Roberts stays in the game, though, and wins a 12-inning 1 - 0 shutout when Larry Stahl hits a lead-off double in the bottom of the 12th and scores when Mets C Jerry Grote throws the ball into the outfield when he attempts to steal third base.
1988: After going 225 at bats‚ Gary Carter finally hits his 300th career home run as the Mets beat the Cubs, 9 - 6.
2009:
Australian Trent Oeltjen continues his hot streak
since being purchased from AAA Reno on August 6th.
The Diamondbacks outfielder bangs out four
hits in a 6 - 2 win over the Mets and
is now 12 for 24 since joining the team, earning the nickname "The Thunder
from Down Under".
2010:
Closer Francisco Rodriguez of the Mets is
arrested at Citi Field after allegedly assaulting his father-in-law
following tonight's 6 - 2 loss to the Colorado Rockies in which he did not
pitch. He remains in police custody all night before a court appearance
on August 12th and is placed on the restricted list by the Mets.
