METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 8, 1997 GAME:

Jimrat
October 9, 2008
This was the last game witnessed by original Met Richie Ashburn. He broadcast the game on TV for the Phillies, which he had been doing for 35 years, and died of a heart attack the following morning. Whitey's life ended with a '62-style lopsided Mets' loss that, as a genuine Phillie, he didn't have to feel bad about.

R.I.P. Richie.

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!
