NY Post: Mets catch break on controversial Phillies foul ball: ""With two outs and a runner on first base [in the 8th|, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm ripped a hard ground ball down the first base line and out of the reach of Pete Alonso, which would have at least put runners on the corners...With the Mets clinging to a 4-1 lead, it would have brought the tying run the the plate. But first base umpire Carlos Torres called the ball foul..."

1963 |
The Mets announce the club has
'traded' coaches with the Giants, bringing Wes Westrum to New York in
exchange for Cookie Lavagetto, who is recovering from a serious illness and
requested a position nearer to his home in Oakland. Mets manager Casey Stengel
met and became fond of his new coach during the recent All-Star Game, and
will be replaced by him as the team's second skipper in franchise history
when the 75 year-old 'Old Perfessor' retires in 1965. |
|
1973 |
In the fifth and deciding game,
the Mets win their second National League pennant in franchise history,
beating the Reds, 7-2. Tom Seaver, who gives up seven hits in 8.1 innings,
bests Cincinnati right-hander Jack Billingham in the Shea Stadium showdown. |
|
1973 |
During oral arguments in front of
the U.S. Supreme Court, Potter Stewart is handed a note with the startling
news that Vice President Agnew had just resigned. The message also informs
the glum Republican Justice, a big Reds fan, that the Mets are ahead of
Cincinnati in the NLCS, 2-0. |
2015: The Mets are
cruising along with a 2 - 1 lead behind rookie Noah Syndergaard in the 7th inning of
Game 2 of the NLDS when Chase
Utley barrels into SS Ruben Tejada to break up a potential inning-ending double
play. He not only succeeds, but also breaks Tejada's leg in the
process while the Mets vainly argue for an interference call. Major League Baseball will hand Utley a
two-game suspension for his unnecessarily violent slide, but in the meantime,
Los Angeles takes advantage of the controversial play to score four runs in the
inning and ends up a 5 - 2 winner, evening the series.
10/10/1961 The New York Mets select Hobie Landrith as their first pick in the Expansion Draft.
