A very unexpected ending to this one. Dave Magadan, who did not hit many homers at all in his career (very good hitter though) hit a game-ending 2-run homer to beat the Pirates this night. Funny enough, Magadan had 2 game-ending homers as a Met (also one in 1992). Not bad for a guy with no power.

My uncle lived at Colden Towers at the time, 42-49 Colden St, (1.4 miles away from Shea) on the 13th floor (the elevator said 14) with a view of Shea Stadium from the balcony. He told me that when Magadan hit the home run to end the game in the 11th, he could hear the crowd roar from his dining room.

Of all the time lived there (1973-1994; I became a Mets fan in 1986) that's the ONLY time he told me he heard the crowd noise coming to the stadium. I watched many games on TV at his place and I'm sure I saw a walkoff or two but I never heard the crowd roar, so they must have been LOUD that night.

42,578 fans in attendance that night by the way, which is about full capacity at Citi Field, so hopefully the denizens of Colden Towers will hear the crowd roar again soon.

I was at this game with a friend, enjoying a Friday night game courtesy of two free box seats I won in a company raffle. Dave Magadan hit the game-winning walk-off home run was memorable since he was not known as a power hitter. However, he turned on a fastball, and we got the win.

We're looking for your comments about this specific game. We've had people use this space to share their thoughts on how the current season is going, or on ways that the Mets can improve the team. Such comments, unless in the context of this particular game, will be considered off-topic and will be removed.

Example One
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. 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!
