METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 20, 1983 GAME:

NYB Buff
December 7, 2023
Before this game, there was a ceremony honoring Willie Mays as the Giants retired his uniform #24. The Mets then came up seven runs in the top of the fifth for a victory as Ed Lynch pitched the first complete game of his career. Ron Hodges doubled twice and George Foster slugged a grand slam in the big inning. One interesting fact about this is that Mays and Foster have a certain connection to each other. When Willie hit his 600th career home run, he did so as a pinch-hitter for George.

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!
