METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE APRIL 29, 1969 GAME:

Ed K
September 16, 2003
First Met game ever in Montreal. Koosman strained his shoulder and was relieved by Ryan in the fifth inning. Kranepool hit two homers for the offense.

November 15, 2022
This was the Mets' first game ever outside the United States. As Ed K states above, Jerry Koosman hurt his shoulder and was removed in the fifth inning. Koosman would not return to mound for nearly a month, but still recorded 17 wins in the Mets' championship season. Nolan Ryan took over for Jerry here and struck out seven batters without a walk for the win.

Kranepool's two homers for the game's only runs were the 52nd and 53rd of his career, giving him the Mets team record that had been held by Frank Thomas. Ed would go on to extend his own mark 65 more times over the next ten years.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
