David Peterson has dealt with a lot of adversity in his life. When he was nine-years-old, his father passed away unexpectedly. Baseball has always been his escape. The day his dad died, he chose to play in his game…and threw a no-hitter. Nine. Years. Old. pic.twitter.com/HnsIK0HeSX

SNY on YouTube: David Peterson's Post Game Reaction:
Brian Joura Mets 360: The old Earl Weaver maxim was pitching, defense and the three-run homer. The Mets had two of those things Friday night but the missing three-run blast was the difference, as the Mets fell to the Marlins, 2-1.
Mike Puma NY Post: A day after playing a well-rounded game to win the opener, the Mets managed only four hits and didn’t score until the ninth inning, when Alonso cleared the right-field fence against A.J. Puk for the team’s first homer of the season.
Jason Fry Faith and Fear in Flushing: "There were Marlins making plays they had no business making, most notably Jorge Soler out in right field screwing up his pursuit of a Pete Alonso drive just enough to turn it into a spectacular play and later making a more authentically nifty shoe-string grab to rob Starling Marte. Soler also put the Marlins on top with a solo shot off David Peterson, who looked like he was always about to implode but kept staggering out of trouble."
Metstradamus:
- “Not Known For Defense” - "Going into Friday’s game, Jorge Soler’s dWAR was -8.7 in 470 career games in the outfield. The Mets losing a game primarily because of Soler’s defense in Miami seems ridiculous, and yet … on brand."
John Harper SNY.TV: Mets' need for reliable right-handed DH exposed in loss to Marlins. "Against a lefty like Jesus Luzardo, Mets had no answer in their lineup."
Newsday:- Umpires out of half-step on Brandon Nimmo's 'out' call "The Mets probably got a bad vibe from Friday night’s 2-1 loss to the Marlins on the very first play, when Brandon Nimmo led off with a grounder to short and appeared to beat Jon Berti’s throw by nearly a half-step...Nimmo was called out...the replay clearly showed that Nimmo touched the bag before the ball disappeared into Yuli Gurriel’s glove.."

Mets Games Played on this date, April 1st: "The Mets have previously played 9 games on April 1st - including 6 Opening Days - an Opening Day cancelled due to Positive COVID test, an Amazing Rey Ordonez play sparks a great comeback win against the Cardinals in 1996, the Colin Cowgill Grand Slam Opener, and an extra inning loss."
1963 | Former Brooklyn Dodger Duke Snider returns to New York when the Mets purchase him from LA for $40,000. The 36 year-old outfielder, who will represent New York in the All-Star Game, will be told at the end of the season by Buzzi Bavasi, his former GM, that the Yankees had asked for him to back up Mickey Mantle before he was dealt to the team the across the river. |
1982 | The Mets send outfielder Lee Mazzilli to Texas for rookie starters Ron Darling and Walt Terrell. This deal isn't well-received at the time, but the trade turns out to be a steal for New York when the two right-handers combine for 118 victories during their tenure with the team. |
1987 | Mets phenom pitcher Dwight Gooden avoids suspension for substance abuse by agreeing to enter a drug rehab facility. The talented 22 year-old right-hander will make his first start on June 5 and will win 15 games for the team despite missing the first two months of the season. |
1996 | The Mets rally overcome a 6-0 deficit, beating the Cardinals at Shea Stadium, 7-6. The decisive run in the biggest Opening Day comeback of the century scores as a result of an unusual double play when Bernard Gilkey, the base runner on first, is doubled up on Rico Brogna's short sac fly to right field (RF-1B-SS-1B-SS), allowing Lance Johnson to cross home plate on the play. |
1997 | Setting a record for the most runs scored in one inning of an Opening Day contest this century, the Padres score 11 runs in the bottom of the sixth inning en route to a 12-5 rout of the Mets. Chris Gomez, Rickey Henderson, and Quilvio Veras lead the attack with back-to-back-to-back home runs. |
2002 | The Mets, with a 6-2 victory over the Bucs at Shea Stadium, improve their mark for Opening Day victories to 26-15 (.634), a major league record. The New York expansion team didn't win their first season opener until the ninth year of the franchise's existence. |
2008 | With two outs in the 10th inning, Robert Andino's first career round-tripper is a memorable one as his walk-off homer to deep left off Matt Wise gives the Marlins a 5-4 victory over the Mets at Dolphin Stadium. The post-game celebration is short-lived when the Miami native takes off for home to meet police after getting a text message from his wife informing him their house may have an intruder. |
2015 | Auction items featured in Sotheby's "New York Sale" include the 1967 Mets' bullpen cart, which is shaped like a baseball wearing a cap. The electric-powered vehicle, valued between $20,000 and $30,000, fetches an amazing high bid of $125,000. |
1963 - The New York Mets purchase veteran outfielder Duke Snider from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Snider, one of the most popular players in the New York City area, starred for the Brooklyn Dodgers from 1947 to 1957. The future Hall of Famer will hit 14 home runs for the Mets this year.
1985 - Today's issue of Sports Illustrated contains a fictitious article about a New York Mets pitching prospect named Sidd Finch, whose fastball has been timed at 168 miles per hour. Author George Plimpton offers bogus quotes from real-life members of the Mets, as well as several staged photos, and fools readers nationwide.
2011: Marlins P Josh Johnson takes a no-hitter into the 7th inning, and C John Buck, in his first game for the team, hits a grand slam in Florida's 6 - 2 Opening Day win over the New York Mets. Logan Morrison also homers for the Fish, while Willie Harris breaks the no-no bid with a double to lead off the 7th.
2013: For the first time since the New York Mets started play in 1962, both New York teams open the season at home on the same day. The Mets improve their Opening Day record to a major league best 34-18 by crushing the Padres, 11 - 2, behind the pitching of Jon Niese and a double and grand slam from new CF Collin Cowgill. Things aren't so good for the Yankees, who lose to the Red Sox, 8 - 2.
4/1/1996 In his MLB debut, Rey Ordóñez makes a terrific play from his knees to throw out Royce Clayton at the plate. The Mets overcome a 6-0 deficit to beat the Cardinals 7-6 on Opening Day. pic.twitter.com/lailnqlMvo
