METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE OCTOBER 2, 1969 GAME:

According to William Bike, author of The Forgotten 1970 Chicago Cubs: Go and Glow, a woman came out of the Wrigley Field bleachers and gave rookie third baseman Wayne Garrett "a big smooch" in this game. Sounds like a perfect ending to the regular season, especially if you're 21 like Wayne Garrett was at the time.

That beautiful moment resulted in Wayne becoming an offensive powerhouse during that year's NLCS. He hit a home run, drove in three, and had a .385 batting average and a 1.236 OPS in the three game sweep of Atlanta.

I believe that Gentry was pulled after 4 innings to give Cardwell a chance to even his record at 9-9.

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.
