This Day in Mets History

1975- Mets' infielder Joe Torre becomes the first player in National League history to hit into straight four double plays in one game. Felix Millan singles in four consecutive at bats against the Astros making the dubious mark possible.

1991- The Mets jump on Bobby Ojeda for 8 runs in 3 innings and coast to a 9-4 over the Dodgers. Dwight Gooden notches his 11th straight victory over the Dodgers going back to 1985.

2008- Jose Reyes fourth inning three-bagger in the Mets 7-5 victory over the Reds at Great American Ballpark makes him the franchise leader in triples. The speedy shortstop's 11th three-base hit this season, his the sixty-third of his career, all as a Met, puts the 25-year old infielder one ahead Mookie Wilson.

Former Met Birthdays:
