Tim Healey Newsday: Mets pitching prospects Christian Scott, Mike Vasil and Dominic Hamel have developed close bond.  Tim gives really good insight to Scott, Vasil and Hamel who were drafted together in 2021 and hve grown close together.  "Hamel, the best dressed of the three, eats at Five Guys after every start as a reward to himself. Oh, and when he was a kid, he took hip-hop dancing classes — the remnants of which show up some mornings...Vasil also has a thing about the number four, Hamel said. When he scores in a video game, he’ll repeat a celebratory phrase four times. When he puts on his cross in the morning, he’ll do the sign of the cross four times...And then there is Scott, the reserved one...He tends to develop quiet obsessions — and ends up really good at whatever that is. Then he’ll show up, having not told anybody anything about how he’d been spending his time, and be the best of the bunch at, say, golf or the NHL video game or throwing a changeup."

1966

Commissioner William Eckert, citing a rule that prohibits clubs from signing players during their collegiate season, voids the Braves' contract with USC standout Tom Seaver, who had signed with Atlanta for a $50,000 bonus a week earlier. The Mets will be awarded the future Hall of Famer's signing rights in a lottery that includes the Phillies and Indians, who also were willing to match the Braves' terms.

1989

"When he punched Keith Hernandez in spring training last season, it was the only time that Darryl Strawberry hit the cutoff man." - STEVE WULF, Sports Illustrated journalist.

At a photo session, Mets' outfielder Darryl Strawberry throws a punch at Keith Hernandez, the team's no-nonsense All-Star first baseman. The spring training scuffle started over comments about salaries and results with the Straw walking out of camp.

Baseball Reference.com:

2005: Thirty-two years after his death, Jackie Robinson receives the Congressional Gold Medal in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, the highest honor Congress can bestow. The medal is accepted by Rachel Robinson, his widow. Baseball is represented in a way by former Texas Rangers executive George W. Bush. Robinson joins Roberto Clemente, Joe Louis and Jesse Owens as the only athletes among about 300 Gold Medal recipients. Following the ceremony, the Boston Red Sox are honored at the White House for winning the 2004 World Series.

2005: In the Washington Nationals' first game since moving from Montreal, pitcher Tony Armas, Jr. tosses two hitless innings and Jose Guillen hits a two-run home run as the Nationals post a 5 - 3 triumph over the Mets in the Grapefruit League opener for both teams. The Expos played their first regular-season game against the Mets in 1969 and their last game against the Mets on October 3, 2004. In the first regular-season game between these franchises, Tom Seaver started for the Mets at Shea Stadium and Coco Laboy powered the Expos to an 11 - 10 victory. In their last meeting, Tom Glavine started for the Mets at Shea Stadium and Todd Zeile hit a home run to deal the Expos an 8 - 1 defeat. Wearing their regular-season home uniforms instead of the traditional batting practice spring training jerseys, the Nationals defeat Glavine this time.

2006: Bret Boone retires at the New York Mets training camp, the culmination of a swift decline for a player who was one of baseball's best second basemen only a few years ago.
