New York Mets signed free agent Hansel Robles on August 21, 2008.


1977
In his first appearance at Shea Stadium since being traded, Tom Seaver throws a six-hitter against his former teammates and strikes out 11, helping the Reds defeat the Mets, 5-1. In addition to his work on the mound, 'Tom Terrific' hits a double and scores two runs.
2002
The Expos' first selection, fifth overall, in the amateur draft, Clint Everts, signs a deal with Montreal which gives him a $2.5 million signing bonus. The Houston Cypress Falls High School's right-hander, along with teammate left-hander Scott Kazmir (Mets), is only the fourth pair of high school players selected in the first round of the same draft.

2005
Using teammate Cliff Floyd's bat, Mike Jacobs hits a three-run home run in his first major league at-bat pinch-hitting in the fifth inning. The left-handed hitting backstop becomes the fourth Mets rookie to go deep in his big league debut, joining Benny Ayala, Mike Fitzgerald, and Kaz Matsui.


1971: For the second time in 10 days, Dave Roberts of the Padres and Tom Seaver of the Mets lock up in a pitchers duel, but this time, Seaver comes out on top, 2 - 1. Ed Spiezio hits a solo homer for San Diego in the 3rd, then Cleon Jones triples and comes in to tie the score on a sacrifice fly for the Mets in the 7th. Jones then ends the game with a walk-off home run with two outs on the bottom of the 9th, only the third hit allowed by Roberts. Seaver and Roberts will finish first and second respectively in the National League ERA race.

1972: On his birthday, Jim Beauchamp of the New York Mets hits his first two home runs of the season. The second one comes in the bottom of the ninth inning to defeat the Houston Astros.

1977Tom Seaver makes his first appearance in Shea Stadium as a member of the Reds, and pitches a six-hitter to beat the Mets, 5 - 1. Tom Terrific strikes out 11, has a double at the plate and scores twice.

1979 - The Mets win a protested game against the Astros, 5 - 0. With two outs in the 9th inning, Houston's Jeffrey Leonard flies to CF to apparently end the game. Umpire Doug Harvey rules that time had been called, and orders Leonard back to the plate. He then singles to left. The Mets were without a first baseman, however, so the umps order Leonard to bat once more. He flies to LF to end the game.

2005: Using teammate Cliff Floyd's bat, Mike Jacobs hits a three-run home run in his first major league at-bat, pinch-hitting in the 5th inning. The left-handed hitting backstop becomes the fourth Mets rookie to go deep in his big league debut, joining Benny AyalaMike Fitzgerald and Kazuo Matsui.

2015Trading deadline acquisition Yoenis Cespedes continues to make his presence felt in the Mets line-up as he homers three times, including a grand slam, and collects 7 RBIs in a 14 - 9 win over the Rockies. He also has two other hits and drives a ball to the warning track in the 9th inning. Travis d'Arnaud and Michael Conforto also homer for New York.
