1961

The Mets sign their first player with major league experience when the team inks free-agent Ted Lepcio. The 32 year-old middle infielder, who compiled a .245 batting average playing with five teams during his ten-year career, will be cut by the expansion team during spring training.

1986

"If one picture is worth a thousand words, you have seen about a million words, but more than that, you have seen an absolutely bizarre finish to Game 6 of the 1986 World Series." - Vin Scully, describing the aftermath of the play after a long silence.

One strike from defeat, the Mets tie the game on a wild pitch and then, thanks to Bill Buckner's error on a Mookie Wilson grounder, win Game 6, knotting the World Series at three games apiece. The hobbled first baseman, who graciously handles the fall out from one of the most memorable moments in baseball history, becomes the scapegoat for the frustrated Fenway Faithful, who wrongly believed his play alone was responsible for Boston demise in the Fall Classic.

2000

Mike Piazza becomes the first player to hit a World Series home run at Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. The backstop's third-inning homer off Denny Neagle will account for the only two runs the Mets will score in a 3-2 Game 4 defeat to their crosstown rivals.

2016

The Mets announce that Mike Piazza, considered by many to be the best offensive backstop in baseball history, will have his number 31 retired during the season. The Cooperstown-bound catcher's digits will join Tom Seaver (41), Casey Stengel (37), and Gil Hodges (14) above the left-field wall at Citi Field.
