1965
Giants center fielder Willie Mays breaks Ralph Kiner's record for home runs in a month when the 'Say Hey Kid' hits a moon shot off Jack Fischer for his 17th round-tripper in an 8-3 victory over New York. The former Pirates outfielder, now a broadcaster for the Mets on WHN radio and WOR-TV, calls the four-bagger which breaks the monthly mark he established with 16 round-trippers in 1949 during September.


2011It's a rare good day for the Mets, who sweep the Marlins in a doubleheader at Citi Field, 2 - 1 and 5 - 1. R.A. Dickey pitches 7 scoreless innings to win the opener, and Dillon Gee follows by allowing only 1 run in 6 innings in the nitecap to improve to 12-5 on the year. Jose Reyes returns to the line-up in the second game and drives in a run, after missing three weeks to a hamstring injury. The Mets had been swept in their previous two doubleheaders this year.
