1970

Five years after the Mets bestow the honor to their first skipper, the Yankees retire Casey Stengel's uniform #37 during Old Timers Day at the Stadium. The 'Old Perfessor,' who won seven World Series during his twelve-year tenure with the team, managed the Bronx Bombers from 1949 to 1960.

2014

Bartolo Colon joins Juan Marichal and Pedro Martinez in becoming the third hurler from the Dominican Republic to win 200 major league games. The 40-year-old portly right-hander accomplishes the feat when he goes eight innings, giving up six hits and one run, in the Mets' 5-4 victory over Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park, 5-4.

Baseball Reference:

1965: In New York‚ the Cubs score 6 runs in the 9th inning to whip the Mets‚ 14 - 10. Chris Krug is not much help in the 9th‚ as the Cubbie strikes out twice. It's the first time since 1922 a Cub has K'ed twice in one inning. 

1984 The Cubs tighten their grip on first place in the NL East with a 7 - 6 win over the Mets at Wrigley Field‚ completing a four-game series sweep. Keith Moreland leads the way with 3 hits and 4 RBIs. Hubie Brooks is 4 for 4 with 4 runs for New York. Davey Johnson gets tossed in the 7th after Bob Dernier gets hit by a pitch‚ a continuation of yesterday's beanballing. Cubs manager Jim Frey follows Johnson in the 9th when Lee Smith throws behind George Foster

1985Keith Hernandez has 5 hits in the Mets' 20-hit attack as they beat the Expos‚ 14 - 7. Rick Aguilera is the winner. 

2004: The Cardinals defeat the Mets‚ 6 - 2‚ as Edgar Renteria gets 5 hits for St. Louis.
