1982

The Mets agree to a $10 million, five-year deal with George Foster, completing the trade with the Reds, which sent Jim Kern, Greg Harris, and Alex Trevino to Cincinnati. During his four-and-half-year tenure with the team, the All-Star outfielder proves to be a major disappointment and will be released outright during the 1986 season after accusing the club of racism for benching him in favor of Kevin Mitchell, a fellow African-American.

1984

After five months of discussion, the Mets and Keith Hernandez, who was eligible for free agency at the end of the season, come to terms on an $8 million, five-year contract. The deal makes the first baseman the second highest-paid player in franchise history, earning slightly less than George Foster's five-year, $10 million pact signed precisely two years ago.

2020

A memorial service takes place at Angel Stadium for veteran Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Keri, and their 14-year-old daughter Alyssa, victims who perished with Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash last month in Calabasas, CA. 'Alto,' who led his Pirates to four state championships en route to compiling a 705–478–4 collegiate record, worked as head coach from 2012-14 for the Cape Cod Baseball League's Brewster Whitecaps, mentoring future major leaguers Aaron Judge (Yankees), Jeff McNeil (Mets), and Ryon Healy (Brewers).
