2005

A bronze sculpture capturing the friendship of Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson is unveiled at Brooklyn's KeySpan Park, home of the Mets' Single-A team. The William Behrends sculpture captures the moment when the Dodger captain showed support by putting his arm around his black teammate's shoulder, hushing an unruly crowd hurling racial slurs at his teammate at Crosley Field in 1947.

2006

Guillermo Mota is suspended for fifty games after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. The 33 year-old Mets reliever becomes the third player penalized under the stricter guidelines implemented this season, joining teammate Yusaku Iriki and Diamondback right-hander Jason Grimsley.

 

2015

In Game 5, the Royals beat the Mets in 12 innings, 7-2, winning the World Series for the first time in 30 years. Kansas City, trailing the Citi Field contest entering the top of the ninth, tie the game with two runs off starter Matt Harvey, who insisted on trying to complete the game despite having thrown over 100 pitches.

2019

The Mets tap their one-time player Carlos Beltrán to replace recently-fired manager Mickey Callaway, who compiled a 163-161 (.503) record during his two years at the helm. The 42-year-old former slugger, with no managerial experience, inks a three-year deal with a club option for 2023.
