1979 |
Lindsey Nelson, selected by the expansion Mets as the
team's lead announcer in 1962, reveals he will not be returning to the Mets
broadcast booth this season, ending a 17-year partnership with Ralph Kiner
and Bob Murphy. The colorfully clad Hall of Fame announcer, who will
eventually do play-by-play for the Giants, is replaced by Steve Albert, the
younger brother of the well-known NBA Knicks and NHL Rangers' broadcaster
Marv Albert. |
|
2001 |
Fifty-eight-year-old Tommie Agee, the 1966 American League
Rookie of the Year, dies of cardiac arrest in Manhattan. The World Series
standout made two memorable catches in center field at Shea Stadium (possibly
saving five runs) and homered in the Mets' 5-0 victory over the Orioles in
Game 3 of the 1969 Fall Classic. |
|
2008 |
The Mets and outfielder Endy Chavez agree on a $3.85
million, two-year deal. The 29-year-old Venezuelan, who missed most of last
season with a hamstring pull, will always be remembered in Mets lore for 'the
catch' in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS against the Cardinals. |
|
2010 |
The Mets, in need of a center fielder, until Carlos
Beltran returns to the lineup in early May, deal 30-year-old right-handed
reliever Brian Stokes (2-4, 3.97) to the Angels in exchange for the
highly-paid but under-achieving Gary Matthews Jr. (.250, 4, 50). Los Angeles
agrees to pay a significant portion of the slumping outfielder's $50 million
five-year contract that 'Little Sarge' signed three seasons ago with the
Halos. |
Baseball Reference:
1992 - The New York Mets trade outfielder Mark Carreon and
relief pitcher Tony Castillo to
the Detroit Tigers in
exchange for pitcher Paul Gibson and Randy Marshall.
1996: The St. Louis Cardinals send
outfielder Bernard Gilkey to
the New York Mets in
exchange for pitchers Eric Ludwick, Erik Hiljus and Yudith Orozio.
2016: The Mets make a couple of moves to defend their National League pennant, re-signing free agent outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and adding reliever Antonio Bastardo. Cespedes, the star of the team's late surge in 2015, returns after protracted negotiations, signing for three years and $75 million, while the price tag for Bastardo is $12 million over two years.
2020 - News emerges that Luis Rojas, son of major league outfielder and
manager Felipe Alou and
brother of Moises Alou, will be
named manager of the Mets, in replacement of Carlos Beltran,
who was dismissed for his role the 2017 Astros sign-stealing scandal
before he could actually manage a game. Rojas has chosen to use his family's
true last name, which was erroneously changed to the matrimonial name when his
father became a professional ballplayer in the 1950s. In addition to belonging to baseball
royalty, Rojas has found a lot of success managing in the minor leagues and in
the Dominican Republic and
was a quality control coach with the Mets.
1/22/1996 The Mets acquire Bernard Gilkey from the Cardinals. In his first year with the Mets, Gilkey set career-high marks in hits (181), home runs (30), RBI (117), and runs scored (108) while slashing an impressive .317/.393/.562. pic.twitter.com/n3onSRypTI 1/22/2001 Tommie Agee passes away. Over his five years in Queens, Agee became the first Met to win a Gold Glove, hit one of the longest home runs in Shea Stadium history, and won a World Series championship. He was posthumously inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 2002. pic.twitter.com/oTYTME0zZn
