METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE MAY 17, 1989 GAME:

Although he would make his way back later in the 2nd half of the year, this game was the symbolic end of Keith Hernandez's Mets career.

He banged knees with the Dodgers 2nd baseman on a ground ball, and though he stayed in the game at first, it turned out that he broke his knee and would be done for 2 months. When he finally did come back, he was essentially a part time player and it was clear that his days were numbered.

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!
