Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born May 17:
- Dick Smith (1939)
- David Roseboom (1992)
Transactions:
New York Mets released Yogi Berra on May 17, 1965.
New York Mets released Raul Gonzalez on May 17, 2004.
New York Mets released Frank Catalanotto on May 17, 2010.
Houston Astros signed Kyle Farnsworth of the New York Mets as a free agent on May 17, 2014.
1971 | Ralph Garr ties a major league record for the round-trippers in extra innings, going deep in the 10th frame and the 12th with a walk-off homer against the Mets in the Braves' 4-3 victory. The Atlanta left-fielder called the 'Road Runner' by his teammates, is the fourth player to accomplish the feat and the first to do so since 1966, when New York's Art Shamsky went yard in the 10th and 11th in a losing cause for the Reds at Crosley Field. |
1973 | At Anaheim Stadium, a horrific injury dampens Bobby Valentine's promising major league career when his spikes get caught in the outfield's chain-link fence attempting to catch a home run ball hit by Dick Green. The 23 year-old speedster, who had started the season hitting .400 in April, suffers a multiple compound leg fracture and will miss the rest of the season, eventually finishing his playing days as a utility player with the Padres, Mets, and Mariners. |
2001: Mets free agent acquisition Steve Trachsel becomes the first pitcher in franchise history to give up four home runs in an inning, pitching himself out of the starting rotation in the process (one day later, he'll be off the roster altogether, off to Norfolk for a three-week Triple A stint). To be fair, the Met bullpen does not exactly cover itself in glory either, with Rick White and John Franco each contributing 4 runs to San Diego's 15-run total; an uncharacteristically economical Franco accomplishes all this in one third of an inning. The one Met bright spot is the performance turned in by a newcomer assigned mop-up duty in the 9th, super sub Desi Relaford, who moves over from SS to make the only mound appearance of his major league career. Sporting a tailing change-up and a fastball, which at 91 MPH is about 5 MPH faster than anything Trachsel was able to muster, Desi fans the opposing pitcher, then induces two consecutive Padres to fly out to the deepest part of the park.
2009: In a 2 - 0 win by the Giants over the Mets, New York hurler Mike Pelfrey balks 3 times. It had been 15 years since Al Leiter was the last pitcher to have three balks in a game.
