Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

National Pastime.com:

1963

At Colt Stadium, Houston's skipper Harry Craft starts an all-rookie team that includes future stars like Joe Morgan, Rusty Staub, Jimmy Wynn, and Jerry Grote. The Colt .45s freshman team, whose average age is 19-years and four months old, loses to the Mets, 10-3, with 17-year-old starting pitcher Jay Dahl making his only major league appearance.

1983

Mookie Wilson becomes the Mets' all-time career stolen-base leader when he swipes second base in the fifth inning of a 4-3 win against Pittsburgh at Three Rivers Stadium. The New York center fielder will add to his franchise-breaking total of 140 in the same frame when he takes third base on the front end of double steal with Darryl Strawberry.

 

1989

After Gregg Jeffries grounds out to second base to end the Mets' disappointing season, he charges the mound and wrestles Phillies' reliever Roger McDowell to the ground. The fight, which sparks a season-ending bench-clearing brawl, is apparently ignited by the Phillies' reliever when he says something to his former New York teammate, who is running to first, but the rookie infielder will claim his anger resulted from a brushback pitch thrown a few days earlier by the Philadelphia pitcher.

2002

In his first full season as a closer, John Smoltz, preserving a Braves' 3-1 victory over the Mets, converts his 54th save of the season to establish a new National League mark. Randy Myers (Cubs - 1993) and Trevor Hoffman (Padres - 1998) had previously shared the record.

 

2003

At Veterans Stadium, Javy Lopez hit his 42nd home to break the major league record for home runs hit by a catcher. In 1996, Mets' backstop Todd Hundley hit 41 to surpass Roy Campanella's 1953 mark.

2003

With a startling rally, the Tigers avoid equaling the modern major league record of 120 losses set by the expansion 1962 Amazin' Mets. It takes one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history when Detroit beats the Twins on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth after trailing by eight runs, 9-8.

 

2005

The Braves back into their 14th straight division flag with the Mets beating the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, 3-2. The record streak started in 1991 when Atlanta played in the NL West.

2005

Jimmy Rollins extends his hitting streak to 32 games with a seventh-inning single off Mets reliever Juan Padilla. The Philadelphia shortstop breaks the 106-year-old Phillies record, surpassing Ed Delahanty, who hit in 31 consecutive games in 1899.

 

2012

With New York's 6-5 victory over Pittsburgh at Citi Field, R. A. Dickey becomes a 20-game winner, the first Mets hurler in 22 years to accomplish the feat. The 37-year-old knuckleballer is the sixth pitcher in the 50-year history of the franchise to reach the milestone, along with Tom Seaver (1969, 1971, 1972, and 1975), Jerry Koosman (1976), David Cone (1988), and Frank Viola (1990).

Baseball Reference:

1970: The Pirates clinch the National League East with a 2 - 1 win over the Mets. A record crowd of 50,469 cheer on the Bucs. It's New York who draws first blood, capitalizing on Pirate starter Dock Ellis' 1st-inning wildness. Pittsburgh right fielder Roberto Clemente, whose sprained back has limited him to seven games in September and four in the last 23 days, helps erase the early 1 - 0 deficit. "The two-bagger Clemente rapped to the center-field wall in the 3rd was a key blow," reports The Cumberland Evening Times. "Tommie Agee, who had a bad defensive series, turned the wrong way on the ball," writes Jack Hernon of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "When he eyed the ball at the last second, he dropped it." Dave Cash moves to third on the play and scores on Bob Robertson's sacrifice fly. Cash's own sac fly in the following frame will push across the deciding run. This will be the ailing Clemente's final regular season game this season; though he'll strap it up for the Championship Series against Cincinnati, he's clearly just a shell of his normal self. In the game, New York's Ken Boswell, who had played a record 85 games at 2B without an error, boots a grounder in the 5th for his first miscue in 389 chances.

1987: Shea Stadium is packed with 48,588 fans to see the Mets clobber the Pirates, 12 - 3, making the Mets the 2nd franchise in major league history to break the three million barrier in season attendance. St. Louis will also draw three million fans this season.

2000: The Mets beat the Braves, 6 - 2, to clinch the National League wild card berth for the second year in a row. 

2001 - While the division-leading Braves, behind Greg Maddux, are succumbing quietly to 4th-place Florida, the red hot Mets, led by super sub Desi Relaford and Mike Piazza, abuse Expo pitching for 10 runs in the final four frames, erasing an early 6 - 0 deficit. The 12- 6 triumph is New York's 18th in 21 tries and their 25th out of 31. Having started that stretch at 13 1/2 games out, New York has now pulled to within three games of first place. This leaves nine games just before NY's final face-off against Atlanta. In tonight's game, Piazza's pinch-hit, bases-clearing, 9th-inning exclamation point notwithstanding, it's Relaford who provides the game's biggest hit as, one inning earlier, with one out, one on and the Mets down by one, the diminutive Desi makes like Mike, turning around a 2-and-2 Scott Strickland fastball and depositing it in Olympic Stadium's right field seats, just beyond the Avis ad.

2008: With the Mets' backs to the wall, Johan Santana pitches a three-hit 2 - 0 shutout against the Marlins. When the Brewers lose, 7 - 3, to Ted Lilly and the Cubs later today, the two teams are tied in the National League Wild Card race with only one game to play.
