1969

Thanks to two great catches by Tommy Agee at Shea Stadium, the Mets beat the Orioles to take a 2-1 game lead in the World Series. The center fielder's outfield heroics save the team at least five runs in the 5-0 victory over Baltimore.

1973

The contest in which Willie Mays gets his last hit, an RBI-single that plates the decisive run in the 12th inning of the Mets' 10-7 victory over the A's in the second game of the World Series, will be best remembered for the aging superstar's misadventures in the outfield when he loses two fly balls in the sun at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. The game takes four-hours and 13 minutes to complete, making it the longest Fall Classic contest ever played.

Baseball Reference:

1969 - Tommie Agee and Ed Kranepool hit home runs, Agee makes two brilliant catches in center field, and the New York Mets blank the Baltimore Orioles, 5 - 0. The underdog Mets take a 2-1 World Series lead. 




1973 - The New York Mets win Game 2 of the World Series, 10 - 7, scoring four runs in an 11th inning that features the last major league hit by Willie Mays and two errors by Oakland Athletics second baseman Mike Andrews. Oakland owner Charlie Finley subsequently puts Andrews on the disabled list in a move that will be questioned by commissioner Bowie Kuhn and then reversed.
