Transactions:
New York Mets traded Frank Thomas to
the Philadelphia Phillies for Gary Kroll and Wayne Graham on
August 7, 1964.
New York Mets released George Foster on
August 7, 1986.
New York Mets released Shane Spencer on
August 7, 2004.
New York Mets claimed Ricky Ledee on
waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers on
August 7, 2006.
New York Mets released Alex Cora on
August 7, 2010.
1963: In the Mets' 7 - 3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals, Jim Hickman hits for the cycle, doing it in order. Both are
firsts for the New York Mets.
1964: The 10th-place Mets send 1B Frank Thomas to the National League-leading Phils (1 1/2 games ahead of the Giants) for
P Gary Kroll, OF Wayne Graham, and cash. Thomas, seemingly the answer to the Phils' first base
problem, rides the Mets' team bus to Philadelphia, then finds out he has been
traded. He then drives in two runs as the Phils top the Mets, 9 - 4. The Phils
will take the next two games with Thomas collecting five RBIs in the sweep.
1972: When Cleon Jones misses a shoestring catch in the bottom of the 13th
inning, Ted Sizemore races around with an inside-the-park homer to give the Cards a 3 - 2 win over the 2nd-place Mets. Diego Segui, in relief of Bob Gibson who pitches 10
innings, is the winner. Mets 2B Ken Boswell has no fielding chances to tie a major-league record for an extra-inning game.
1984: The Cubs sweep a pair from the
visiting Mets, winning 8 - 6 and 8 -
4. Rick Sutcliffe (9-1) beats Ron Darling (10-5) in the opener, benefiting from a six-run 5th
inning. Keith Moreland hits a three-run home run and Ron Cey a two-run shot in
the 5th. A five-run 4th in the second game propels Chicago to the win for
reliever Tim Stoddard. Lee Smith notches his 25th
save.
1992: The Mets obtain OF Kevin Bass from the Giants for a player to be named.
1993: The Mets' Bret Saberhagen injures his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.
2009: Everth Cabrera of the Padres hits
a 9th-inning walk-off grand slam off Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez for a 6 - 2 win.
2011: Dan Uggla extends his hitting streak to 28 games as the Braves defeat
the Mets, 6 -
5. He has to wait until the 8th inning to deliver a single to keep the streak
alive; his teammate Freddie Freeman is not so fortunate, as an 0-for-4 day ends his streak at 20
games. It is the first time a pair of teammates have had simultaneous 20-game
streaks since Mickey Rivers and Al Oliver with the 1980 Texas Rangers. The real hero for the Braves, though, is the man Mets fans love
to hate, Chipper Jones, who drives in the winning run with a 9th-inning single off Bobby Parnell.
