Game memories added since May 8, 2013

May 31, 1964 Shea Stadium San Francisco Giants 8, Mets 6 Jeff May 15, 2013 I went with my two brothers. I was 14, my younger brother was 9 and my older brother 21. I remember the triple play and Willie Mays playing shortstop. We kept begging my brother to stay one more inning and ended up staying for the whole game. It was a great memory.

July 19, 1967 Shea Stadium Mets 7, Houston Astros 2 TracMet May 10, 2013 Played hookie with a friend from work to go to this midweek DH. Scheduling was different then or maybe it was a make up of an earlier rain out. We had great seats in Shea mezzanine which I thought were the best seats at Shea. Seaver cruised to his 9th win and he was in his first year and just starting to exhibit what would mark him as The Franchise. You could sense as a Met fan he was special. Tommy Davis' grand slam exciting from a great hitter. One very good Met season. Hard to explain sun burn to boss next day.

April 8, 1969 Shea Stadium Montreal Expos 11, Mets 10 Manny May 15, 2013 I remember watching this game on TV and thinking the Expos in one day have accomplished two things the Mets haven't accomplished in seven years: winning on opening day and holding a share of first place.

September 20, 1969 Shea Stadium Pittsburgh Pirates 4, Mets 0 Jon May 9, 2013 This was my first MLB game as well. We went with either the Cub Scouts or Levittown Little League, not sure which. I seem to remember the stands being very full--it had to have been 50,000. Sure gave me a great story to tell for the next 40+ years. Man, I'm old.

July 28, 1970 Shea Stadium Mets 12, San Francisco Giants 2 Philip Cohen May 10, 2013 This was the first baseball game I went to as a child (9 years old) with my Dad and sister. I remembered the score and of course Clendenon's two 3-run home runs. A very fond memory for me. I forgot that Jim McAndrew pitched that night - a nice complete game.

May 23, 1971 Shea Stadium Mets 4, Atlanta Braves 0 Frank May 15, 2013 1st time I was at a game; I never forgot it. I was 9 years old. How classic, thank you God!

August 28, 1971 Shea Stadium Mets 9, Los Angeles Dodgers 2 Vince Egan May 10, 2013 My dad took me to this, my first major league game (I was 7), and it turned out to be a doubleheader due to a rain out the night before. Some great names involved that day: Gil Hodges as manager, Seaver starting for the Mets. Walter Alston as manager, and Maury Wills, Willie Davis, Richie Allen, and 48-year-old Hoyt Wilhelm in relief for the Dodgers, who also had youngsters like Bill Buckner, Steve Garvey and Bobby Valentine. I remember Cleon Jones won the nightcap with a walk-off homer before they were known as walk-offs.

April 20, 1974 Shea Stadium Mets 5, Pittsburgh Pirates 2 J May 15, 2013 Very first game ever. I just turned 9. Had a black-and-white TV so it was magical coming out of the tunnel and seeing Shea in color for the first time. The green grass, the bright colors on the logo hanging high up in right-center field. The enormity of the entire stadium... quite a thrill. I remember Koosman throwing a gem and the only thing that kept him from being pulled for a PH in the 7th was Garrett's HR to dead center two batters ahead of him. Ended up with a 5-hit complete game. Great memory for a 9-year-old.

September 11, 1974 Shea Stadium St. Louis Cardinals 4, Mets 3 Steve Tuttle May 10, 2013 I went to this game with 3 guys I worked with. I was an avid Cardinal fan. When Reitz hit his HR in the 9th and the Mets failed to score in the bottom of the inning, we were thrilled to get extra innings. The other 3 guys, including my boss, wanted to leave around the 14th inning, but I refused to go. We all had to be at work at 8:00 sharp that morning. We stayed through 23 innings and then gave up and left. I think it was around 3 AM. Then we got lost on the way home, heard the end of the game on the radio, and realized we should have stayed til the end. The worst part was that I bought 2 tix that night to the next night's game. My buddy came to pick me up the next afternoon and I was so sound asleep that I didn't hear the doorbell. He went to a pay phone and called me and I dragged myself out for another game. Barely stayed awake through that one. I've always been glad that I was there on Sept 11 to see history but regret that I left after 23 innings.

September 16, 1974 Jarry Park Mets 3, Montreal Expos 2 Ed K May 10, 2013 This game served as the debut of a young Expo named Gary Carter and a former first-round draft choice pitching for the Mets named Randy Sterling. Sterling got the better of the game (his only MLB win) and got Carter out twice as Gary went 0 for 4, but their careers diverged after that. Carter grounded out to 3B (Garrett to Milner) in his first at-bat. He did throw out Mike Jorgensen trying to steal. Mr. Roboto May 16, 2013 Ed K, Carter could not have thrown out Mike Jorgensen stealing in this game. Both of them were playing for the Expos. Jorgensen was thrown out by Mets catcher Ron Hodges in the first inning.

May 26, 1979 Shea Stadium Mets 10, Pittsburgh Pirates 8 Quality Met May 9, 2013 The one thing I remember from this game is when Pirates pitching coach Harvey Haddix made a visit to the mound. When he did, Steve Albert mentioned on television that it was the 20th anniversary of his 12-inning perfect game that he lost in the 13th.

May 27, 1986 Shea Stadium Mets 8, Los Angeles Dodgers 1 Hot Foot May 15, 2013 Correcting an earlier post, I did some research and this game was on Channel 9. This is the first game I clearly remember watching, only because of the brawl. I was a big WWF fan at the time, and watching Ray Knight run out there and fight Tom Niedenfuer was like watching the Junk Yard Dog take on Tito Santana. I remember being amazed by it, and thinking that it was better than wrestling because it was real.

September 17, 1986 Shea Stadium Mets 4, Chicago Cubs 2 Shickhaus Franks May 10, 2013 The only good thing about this time period in my life was the 1986 Mets. Was working a lousy job at a roadside restaurant (including weekends) and besides that I had to put up with 2 bosses from heck: one guy was a short, gruff-gruff jerk who probably had relatives in the Third Reich and the other was this "fugly" big boned "woman" who was a Yankees fan (In the words of Austin Powers: SHE'S A MAN, BABY). Anyway, I had one co-worker who was a supporter of the orange and blue and he quoted the Eagles (the rock group, not the NFL team) by saying "Mirrors on the ceiling, the champagne is on ice, the Mets will win tonight." I went, home watched the game on Ch. 9 (no cable then), the Mets won and the next morning, me and the co-worker celebrated with a little soda pop and high fives!

June 22, 1997 Shea Stadium Mets 12, Pittsburgh Pirates 9 Max May 10, 2013 This was the first Mets game I ever went to, I was only 6 years old. Brutal heat and then a violent rain delay highlighted an unbelievable first game for me. I remember the Hundley home run and Everett walk off vividly. I've been a huge Met fan ever since. Ordonez and Hundley were my favorite players in the beginning.

July 28, 2001 Shea Stadium Mets 4, Philadelphia Phillies 3 Mike May 15, 2013 I came up with some friends from Tampa to visit a buddy who lived in Jersey. His mom surprised us all with tickets. It was my first baseball game outside of the dome that is Tropicana Field. I remember getting to the game and parking in our seats in the right field bleachers. I didn't explore the stadium much. I was 20 years old. Alcohol wasn't involved; I was just there for the game. I vividly remember the Ventura home run, and I got to witness "the apple." Luckily I have a photo from our seats, and it instilled a bug in me to visit more stadiums. Since, I have been to eight other parks, notably old Yankee, Wrigley, and most recently, Fenway. But there was something about Shea.

May 7, 2013 Citi Field Mets 1, Chicago White Sox 0 J.R. May 22, 2013 I thought that the greatest Mets game I had ever been to was the second to last game of the 2008 season at Shea when Johan pitched one of the greatest games of his career. This game has maybe taken over the top spot.
