1965 | Casey Stengel, who is recovering from a fractured hip suffered a month ago, officially announces his retirement as the skipper of the Mets, ending a 56-year career in baseball as a player, coach, and manager. At an hour-long press conference held at the Essex House, Casey's N.Y. residence, the "Old Perfessor' shares his disappointment in the team's performance during their first four and a half seasons in the National League and praises his interim replacement, Wes Westrum, the club's former pitching coach. |
1966 | Sandy Koufax, in his final decision facing the Mets, lasts only two innings, losing to Bob Friend at Shea Stadium, 10-4. The Dodgers Hall of Fame southpaw has compiled a 17-2 record against the lowly expansion team since their inception in 1962. |
1973 | The Mets lose to the Cardinals, 1-0, thanks to a Jose Cruz tenth inning walk-off single off Tom Seaver at Busch Stadium. The defeat drops the eventual National League champs into last place, 6.5 games behind the first-place Redbirds. |
1986 | New York releases Let's Go Mets Go!, a music video that features players, coaches, and fans, along with a cameo appearance by Joe Piscopo. Shelly Palmer, known professionally as Shelton Leigh Palmer, composed and produced the official team's theme song, that becomes a Gold Record, as well as directing and producing the accompanying music video, which will go triple platinum. |
1999 | At the Astrodome, Edgardo Alfonzo becomes the first player in the Mets' 38-year history to go 6-for-6, scoring six times, and drives in five runs. The second baseman hits three homers, two singles, and a double for a team-record 16 total bases in New York's 17-1 rout of Houston. |

8/30/2015 The Mets acquire Addison Reed from the Diamondbacks. Reed finished his 2015 season with the Mets by posting a 1.17 ERA in 17 appearances. In his time with New York, Reed pitched in the most games (145) and had the third-lowest ERA (2.09) among National League relievers. pic.twitter.com/Z5LNTRpB0H 8/30/2023 DJ Stewart hits two home runs, including a game-tying homer in the eighth, makes a terrific catch to rob Marcus Semien of a hit, and brings home the winning run on a hit by pitch.@GOOODJ8 pic.twitter.com/HgUFKWSVks
