METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE AUGUST 29, 1992 GAME:

Posheco
July 4, 2020
I attended this game with a friend of mine. Dwight Gooden was the winning pitcher and helped his own cause with an RBI double. But the thing I remember most about it was the terrible condition of the Shea Stadium outfield grass. It was all faded and discolored from the many rows of chairs that were set up there for a concert a few days earlier. I don't know who the performer was at that show, but allowing people to sit right at ground level for it created a horrible looking baseball field.

Replying to Posheco's post, the performers were Elton John and Eric Clapton. But you're right, the OF was in total shambles. Good thing the 1992 season didn't really matter much by this time of the year.

Gooden's days of dominance were far behind him at this point, but he still found ways to win. And he was also one of the Mets best hitters during the season, as he finished the year with a .264 average. His 19 hits tied Tom Glavine for most by a pitcher in 1992, and rank third all-time by a pitcher in team history behind his own tally of 21 in 1985, and Mike Hampton's 20 in 2000.

Speaking of pitchers, Noah Syndergaard was born on this day. Also, David Cone made his first start with Toronto since being traded a few days earlier. Things didn't go so well, as he was knocked around for 7 runs on 7 hits and 7 walks over 6.2 innings in a 7-2 loss to the Brewers. This came a day after Milwaukee beat the Jays 22-2, so he really ran into a buzzsaw. But he went 4-2 with a 1.55 ERA over his next 7 games to help Toronto capture the AL East crown.

I learned that Paul O'Neill's sister was a food critic for the New York Times while watching the broadcast on CBS. He'd be joining his sister in the Big Apple pretty soon, as he would be traded to the Yankees after the season for Roberto Kelly.

Anthony Young, filling in for the injured John Franco, notched his 11th save of the season. He did give up a harmless run, snapping a scoreless streak that stretched back to July 4 (a span of 23.2 innings over 20 games). However, he imploded in September, holding an ERA of 11.00 during the month and going 0-5 with 4 blown saves. Little did he know his troubles would be just beginning...

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.
