1964

The Cubs overcome making five errors in the top of the third inning and beat the Mets, 4-2. The Chicago miscues, that include shortstop Andre Rodgers and catcher Dick Bertell each committing two and first baseman Ernie Banks contributing to the total by dropping a pop fly, account for all of New York's scoring in the Wrigley Field contest.

1969

At Wrigley Field, Bill Hands and the Cubs edge Tom Seaver and the Mets, 1-0. After the game's last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels for the first time, a move the third baseman will repeat each time Chicago wins for the rest of his career.

2001

Bobby Valentine wins his 1,000th career game as a manager when Glendon Rusch and closer Armando Benitez combine to throw a one-hitter in the Mets' 2-0 victory over the Red Sox. Trot Nixon's first-inning bunt single, a result of the New York starter's inability to cover first base, is Boston's only hit in the Shea Stadium contest.

Baseball Reference:

1969At Wrigley Field, the Chicago Cubs top the New York Mets, 1 - 0, to give Bill Hands (11-7) the win over Tom Seaver (14-4). Billy Williams singles home the winner, boosting the Cubs lead to 5 1/2 games. After the last out, Ron Santo jumps up and clicks his heels, igniting a roar from the crowd. The Mets think it's bush.

1972In his first major league game, Dave Schneck hits a 2-run homer off the Padres' Steve Arlin that turns out to be the game winner in the Mets' 3 - 2 win at San Diego Stadium.

1988: Ken Griffey singles for his 2,000th career hit in the Atlanta Braves' 9 - 8 loss to the New York Mets.

1989 - The New York Mets' Sid Fernandez strikes out 16 Atlanta Braves, but the portly Polynesian portsider still loses, 3 - 2, on Lonnie Smith's leadoff home run in the bottom of the 9th.
