Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com: 

Born on this date:

Transactions:
New York Mets sold Dock Ellis to the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 21, 1979.

National Pastime.com:

1973

On the day they get to .500, the Mets move into first place for the first time since May 27th, a half a game ahead of Pittsburgh in the 'NL Least.' Thanks to Tom Seaver's complete-game five-hitter, New York evens its record at 77-77 with a 10-2 victory, the team's 21st in the last 29 games.

1987

Darryl Strawberry and Howard Johnson become the first teammates to hit 30 homers and steal 30 bases in the same season when the 'Straw' steals two bases in the Mets' 7-1 victory over Chicago at Wrigley Field. The southpaw swinger is only the tenth member of the 30-30 club, but is the fourth player, along with HoJo, Indians' right fielder Joe Carter, and Reds center fielder Eric Davis, to accomplish the feat this season.

1987

Howard Johnson breaks a 53 year-old National League record when he strokes his 36th home run as a switch hitter in the Mets' 7-1 victory over Chicago at Wrigley Field. The New York third baseman's historic homer, the team's franchise-high seventh grand slam of the season, surpasses the mark established by Cardinals' first baseman Ripper Collins in 1934 but is far less than the major league record of 54 set in 1961 by Yankees slugger Mickey Mantle.

2001

The Mets donate their day's pay, which totals approximately $500,000, from tonight's game with the Braves at Shea to a rescue fund for the families of the firefighters and policemen killed in the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. The contest is the first professional baseball game played in New York since the tragedy.

2001

A crowd 41,235 at Shea Stadium witnesses the return of baseball to New York City for the first time since the terrorist attacks of September 11. Uplifting ceremonies before and during the game, which include singers Diana Ross, Marc Anthony, Lisa Minnelli as well as bagpipers, pay tribute to victims of the tragedy. Mike Piazza's eighth-inning home run gives the Mets a 3-2 dramatic victory over the Braves.
