This Day in Mets History

1969- The eventual World Champ Mets drop to third place nine and half games behind the front-running Cubs

1992- The Mets signed Pitcher Barry Jones.

2003- Despite a massive blackout in the Northeast, the game between the Mets and the Giants at Shea Stadium is the only postponement on the major league schedule. Although Detroit, Toronto and Cleveland were without electricity, the Tigers, Blue Jays and Indians either had the day off or were playing on the road.

I was on Long Island at the time and getting ready to head to the game when the power went out. It was a little crazy driving in New York without traffic lights.

Mets Birthdays-
  • Eric Commack: 44
  • McKay Christensen: 44
