I believe this was the second game I ever went to. It was a twi-night doubleheader; my dad took my sister and me. We sat down the left field line and I remember Lee May hitting a home run in to the left field loge seats. We tried waiting out a long rain delay in the second game but it was getting late and we were leaving for vacation early the next morning so we decided to leave. Just as we hit the parking lot the rain had stopped and we heard the crowd cheer as they apparently came out to take the tarp off. We listened on the radio as the Mets came back and won.

In my 1st-ever sports event, my retrospective is bittersweet. I was to witness 2 young RH pitchers whom I would never again see in blue and orange due to a pair of trades, one arguably the worst ever. Nolie pitched well, though in defeat, in Game One, but it’s Game Two that leaves a stronger impression. Local product Charlie Williams, amid the rain-delay, threw his only CG as a Met, and enabled me to finally enjoy the Mets beating the Bad Red Machine. The name is familiar for one reason: Willie Mays. A trade that also shouldn’t have been. Years after Willie retired, Charlie was a competent presence for Frisco - years that would’ve been better spent at Shea. Maybe not CGs, but close. Thanx to my late parents for a 10yr old’s seminal experience.

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.
