New York Mets released Rickey Henderson on May 13, 2000.
New York Mets signed free agent Rick Ankiel on May 13, 2013.
1970 | With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning at Wrigley Field, Gary Gentry gives up his only hit, a short fly hit by Ernie Banks that outfielder Dave Marshall gets a glove on, but he cannot hold on to the ball. The 23 year-old Mets right-hander settles for a one-hit complete game 4-0 victory over Chicago but could have been the first hurler in franchise history to throw a no-hit game if official scorer Jim Enright had ruled differently on the blooper to left field. |
2000 | A day after failing to hustle, turning a likely double into a single, a disgruntled Rickey Henderson is let go by the Mets. The 41 year-old stolen base leader is batting .219 with no homers and two RBIs at the time of his release. |
1972 - Buzz Capra is the winning pitcher in a 1 - 0 Mets victory over the San Francisco Giants. Capra's first major league RBI - a 2nd-inning single scoring Cleon Jones - is the only run of the game.
1980 - Ray Knight of the Cincinnati Reds hits two home runs in the 5th inning - including a grand slam - to lead the Reds to a 15 - 4 rout of the New York Mets.
2012: Another Mother's Day hero is the Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton, swinging a pink bat in support of breast cancer research, who belts a walk-off grand slam off Manny Acosta of the Mets, capping a 6-run 9th-inning rally as Miami wins, 8 - 4.
