1991

The Mets sign Pirates' free-agent Bobby Bonilla to a $29 million, five-year deal. The 28 year-old highly touted outfielder will hit only .249 during the first year of his contract for an under-achieving New York club.

2008

Mets COO Jeff Wilpon says the team's new ballpark's name will remain Citi Field regardless of the suggestion made by two NYC council members who believe the venue should be called Citi/Taxpayer Field. Citigroup, a struggling financial institution benefiting from a bailout from the federal government, pays the franchise $400 million over 20 years for naming rights to the stadium.
