New York Mets selected Kevin Baez in seventh round of free agent draft on June 1, 1988.

New York Mets selected Preston Wilson in first round (ninth pick overall) of free agent draft on June 1, 1992.

New York Mets selected Dan Murray in 10th round of free agent draft on June 1, 1995.

New York Mets selected Grant Roberts in 11th round of free agent draft on June 1, 1995.

New York Mets selected Nelson Figueroa in 30th round of free agent draft on June 1, 1995.

New York Mets claimed Travis Blankenhorn on waivers from the Seattle Mariners on June 1, 2021.


1964:     The exhibition game with their Williamsport farm club is rained out, much to the delight of the Mets. Yesterday, the team finished a ten-hour marathon at 11:25 p.m., dropping a twin bill to the Giants, 5-3 and 8-6, which included a 23-inning nightcap.

2012:     Johan Santana, who did not pitch last year because of shoulder surgery performed at the end of the 2010 season, no-hits the Cardinals at Citi Field, 8-0, with the help of third base ump's blown call on a fair ball and an outstanding defensive play by outfielder Mike Baxter. The 33 year-old two-time Cy Young Award winner's 134-pitch effort ends the Mets' streak of over fifty seasons, spanning 8,020 games, without a no-hitter.


1968 - Joe Hoerner of the St. Louis Cardinals ties the National League record for most consecutive strikeouts by a relief pitcher. Horner strikes out the final six batters he faces and earns the win in a 6 - 5 victory over the New York Mets.

2017 - The first-place Brewers defeat the struggling Mets, 2 - 1, behind a strong pitching performance by Chase Anderson who tosses seven scoreless innings. There is an unusual play in the 4th inning: with the bases loaded and one out, Milwaukee's Eric Sogard lifts a pop-up near the third base line. The Mets' batboy tries to get out of the way, taking his chair with him, but in doing so impedes 3B Wilmer Flores' path to the ball. Third base umpire Fieldin Culbreth first calls the batter out, but the umpires reverse themselves after conferring, as there is no provision in the rules for "batboy interference". Manager Terry Collins comes out to argue and is ejected, but he shouldn't have bothered, as Sogard then grounds into an inning-ending double play.
