The Iglesias vibe is something. Mets are 26-13 since he showed up on May 31. And he's been crazy-clutch, hitting .500 w/runners in scoring position (10-for-20 that includes a .750 slugging %). Even better w/2 outs & RISP: .583 (7-for-12) with .833 slug and 1.500 OPS. https://t.co/rLnpJQCWwr

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
- Norm Sherry (1931)
- Jarred Kelenic (1999)
New York Mets traded Jack Lamabe to the St. Louis Cardinals for Al Jackson on July 16, 1967.
1988 | In the longest game ever played in Texas League history, the San Antonio Missions beat the visiting Jackson Mets in 26 innings, 1-0. The Keefe Stadium contest, which started on July 14, was suspended at 2:25 a.m. the following day and continued on July 16, taking a total of 7 hours and 23 minutes to complete. |
2003 | The Yankees send pitching prospects Jason Anderson, Anderson Garcia, and Ryan Bicondoa to the Mets for hard-throwing embattled closer Armando Benitez. The 30 year-old All-Star reliever, slated to be the setup man for closer Mariano Rivera, blew seven of 28 save opportunities and became the object of much booing at Shea Stadium. |
2006 | At Wrigley Field, Mets outfielders Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran both hit grand slams during a franchise-record 11-run inning in the sixth of the 13-7 defeat of the Cubs. The pair of four-run homers marks only the seventh time in baseball history a team has accomplished the feat in one inning. |
2006 | The Reds honor perfect game hurler Tom Browning and slugging first baseman Lee May with induction into the team's Hall of Fame. Tom Seaver, who spent five-plus seasons and hurled a no-hitter with Cincinnati and who is presently enshrined in Cooperstown as well as a member of the Mets Hall of Fame, is also included as an inductee. |
