METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 29, 1963 GAME:

Feat Fan
March 17, 2004
This marked the last game of the 1963 season as well as rookie John Paciorek's big league debut. The older brother of Tom Paciorek, John went 3- for-3 but never returned to the majors, retiring with a 1.000 batting average. He has the most hits of any player who never made an out.

The last game ever for Grover Powell. Too bad!

A few interesting things came about on the Houston side of this season closer. In his first and only major league game, John Paciorek collected three singles and drew two walks in five plate appearances. This gave him marks of 1.000 for batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage for his one-day career. Paciorek also had four runs scored.

Another noteworthy fact is that the Colt .45s' winning pitcher was Jim Umbricht in his last career game. Umbricht was suffering from cancer at the time and passed away just before the next season began.

For the Mets, Larry Bearnarth was more productive at bat than on the mound. He gave up seven runs on six hits in 3+ innings for the loss, but also had a two-run single and hit the only triple of his career.

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.
