"Everybody is looking forward to getting home and getting settled. Such a routine the season is, and we haven't really been able to get into that mode. But nobody wants to hear that."

Mets Games Played On This Date: April 6: "Bonny Bonilla hits 2 HRs in his Mets debut, Seaver wins in the snow, a blowout of the Braves and the first win of 2021 - all part of the games the Mets have on April 6th."
1974 | The Bronx Bombers begin their two year stint at Shea Stadium, where the team will compile a 172-150 (.534) record during the renovations to the Stadium, with a 6-1 victory over Cleveland. The 'other' NY fans cheer loudly when the scoreboard posts the Mets' 5-4 loss in Philadelphia. |
1974 | At Veterans Stadium, Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt hits a ninth inning two-run home run off Tug McGraw to beat the Mets on Opening Day, 5-4. The walk-off homer is the first of the league-leading 36 dingers the third baseman will hit this season. |
2015 | The Mets start 41 year-old Bartolo Colon on Opening Day, much to the chagrin of the fan base who hoped one of their young guns, Matt Harvey and Jacob deGrom, would get the coveted assignment. The oldest pitcher ever to get the nod on Opening Day in franchise history doesn't disappoint when he gives up one run on three hits, besting Washington's $210 million ace Max Scherzer in the team's 3-1 victory at Nationals Park. |
1971: The Mets win their first opener ever at Shea Stadium‚ beating the Expos‚ 4 - 2‚ in 5 innings. Heavy rain and wind cuts the contest short. Tom Seaver is the winner over Carl Morton.
1974: The New York Yankees defeat the Cleveland Indians, 6 - 1, at Shea Stadium. This is the Yanks' first game of a two-year period at Shea while Yankee Stadium is being rebuilt. 12-year-old Teddy Kennedy‚ Jr.‚ flanked by his father and Mayor Abe Beame‚ tosses out the first ball. Missing from the ceremony is George Steinbrenner‚ indicted two days earlier for illegal campaign contributions. Graig Nettles' two-run homer in the 4th off the Indians' Gaylord Perry opens the scoring and the Yanks score 4 more times to win. Charlie Spikes scores the only Cleveland run in the 9th following a triple off starter and winner Mel Stottlemyre. Perry‚ who is warned once for an illegal pitch‚ is the loser today‚ but he will win his next 15 decisions.
Mike Schmidt, batting 8th in the lineup, hits a two-run homer off Tug McGraw in the 9th inning to give the Philadelphia Phillies a 5 - 4 win over the New York Mets at Veterans Stadium. It is the Mets' only Opening Day loss of the 1970s.
1992: Mets reliever Jeff Innis is credited with the win over the Cardinals in New York's 4 - 2 Opening Day victory. In 1991‚ Innis became the only pitcher in baseball history to appear in at least 60 games with neither a win nor a save.
2002: The Mets score 9 runs in the 9th inning - 8 off John Smoltz - to break a 2 - 2 tie and defeat the Braves‚ 11 - 2. Rey Ordonez's bases-loaded double is the big blow as the Mets have 15 at bats in the 9th. It is the most runs they've ever scored in the frame.
2004: The Mets open their season with a 7 - 2 win over the Braves. SS Kazuo Matsui, making his American baseball debut, opens the game with a home run on the first pitch from Russ Ortiz‚ becoming only the 20th player in baseball history to homer on the first major league pitch he sees. Matsui adds a pair of doubles and two walks in his debut. He is the third player in Met history to homer in his first at bat‚ joining Mike Fitzgerald and Benny Ayala.
4/6/2015 A 41-year-old Bartolo Colón becomes the oldest Opening Day starter in franchise history and beats Max Scherzer in his Nationals debut. Lucas Duda spoils Scherzer’s no-hit bid with a two-run single in the sixth and Buddy Carlyle records his first career save.@Budc26 pic.twitter.com/ciUO4gxKtU
