METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 30, 1972 GAME:

In this game, Roberto Clemente of the Pirates got his 3,000th hit. Unfortunately, this was the last hit of Clemente's career, because he was killed in a plane crash while en route to bring supplies to Nicaragua earthquake victims on Dec. 31, 1972.

As a 13-year-old Mets fan I was upset when Roberto Clemente got his 3000th hit (double) vs Jon Matlack. A few months later when Clemente was killed I realized what a great player he really was and it seems I remember a really good throw against the Orioles in the 1971 WS.

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!
