The thing I remember most about this game is that my childhood friend Patrick was there. It was the first game Patrick ever attended and he saw Jon Matlack pitch a one-hit shutout, facing only 28 batters to do it. Matlack began the night with five perfect innings, during which Wayne Garrett caught a solid line drive and Rusty Staub made a great play at the wall to take away an extra-base hit. Tommy Helms then led off the top of the sixth with a double that got past Garrett and went down the left field line. Jon shut down the Astros after that and ended the game the way he started it, with a strikeout of Tommie Agee. One of the best pitched games in Mets history.

I met Duffy Dyer at a bank grand opening that day. Bill Lauber did bank promotions in NJ. He got me to the front of the line that day to meet Duffy.

The bank opening was in the morning. That night we watched this game, my Dad and Mom and I. Duffer drove in the game winning run. He went on Kiner's Korner and said, "Wow it’s been so long since I have been here, Ralph." I thought, wow, I met him today and there he is tonight winning the game on tv!

I just saw Duffy at Mets fantasy camp and told him the story but Duffy is not that emotional about that stuff!

Great memories great site here !

Last night was the 50th anniversary of this game! I was there (age 13) with my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins from Brooklyn, and I still have the program and yearbook. I had never been to a Mets game because I was a Baltimore resident at the time visiting my relatives. I was thrilled to see Willie Mays play in person, hoping to see him hit a home run. The closest he got was to hit a pop fly to shallow center, but nonetheless it was still great to see Willie. A great player, and a really nice guy, from what I've read.

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.
