Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
- Andrew Brown (1984)
- Neil Walker (1985)
- Anthony Swarzak (1985)
- Phillip Evans (1992)
New York Mets traded Tom Hausman to the Atlanta Braves for Carlos Diaz on September 10, 1982.
1963 | In the Mets' 4-2 victory over the Giants at the Polo Grounds, Carlton Willey retires the side in order, getting all three Alou brothers - Jesus, Matty, and Felipe - to make an out. The Dominican trio becomes the first three siblings to bat consecutively in the same inning. |
1969 | At Shea Stadium, the Mets move into first place for the first time in their history. The Amazins, with their doubleheader sweep of Montreal, a 3-2 win in 12 innings in the opener and a 7-1 victory in the nightcap, take a one-game lead over the second-place Cubs, who dropped a 6-2 decision to the Phillies. |
1985 | After Cardinal starter Danny Cox, who appears annoyed by George Foster stepping out of the box several times during the at-bat, hits him with a first-inning pitch causing both teams to charge onto the Shea Stadium field. Howard Johnson, minutes after the teams return to their respective dugouts, blasts a grand slam to give the Mets an eventual 5-4 win and a one-game lead over the Redbirds in the tight NL East race. |
1985 | Keith Hernandez receives a two-minute standing ovation from the Mets fans in his first game back at Shea after testifying in a Pittsburgh courtroom. The New York first baseman, who responds with a run-producing single against his former team, admitted on the witness stand to having used cocaine while playing for the Cardinals. |
