  • World Baseball Classic Offered Something No Other Sport Could Mets Daddy notes that "Baseball is the most unique of sports. It is thoroughly a team sport, but it is continuously highlighted by head-to-head match-ups. The pitcher against the batter. The catcher trying to gun out the base stealer. The speedy runner against the arm of the infielder or outfielder."

The Cardinals play three Cruz brothers, Cirilo, Hector, and Jose, all nine innings in the outfield during the team’s 9-2 spring training victory over New York at Al Lang Field. The trio Puerto Rican siblings, who personally outscore the Mets, bat first, second, and third in the Redbird’s lineup, making all three outs in the first and eighth frames.

1978

The Mets deal 34 year-old Bud Harrelson to Philadelphia for cash and minor league call-up Freddie Andrews, an infielder who will never play another game in the major leagues. The popular shortstop, as a 12-year veteran, could have vetoed the trade but chose to go Philadelphia to play for a contending team.
