1966 | Tom Seaver picks the Mets' name from a hat in a lottery, signing with the team for a reported $50,000 bonus. Tom's father had threatened a lawsuit, necessitating the special draft, after his son's contract with Atlanta was voided by Commissioner William Eckert because the right-hander's college team had played two exhibition games, but signing a pro contract also prevents the future Hall of Famer from playing on the collegiate level. |
1985 | The owners' proposal of expanding the League Championship Series to best-of-seven is agreed to by the Players' Association. The LCS started as a best-of-five games series in 1969 when the leagues divided into divisions, with both the Orioles and Mets sweeping their opponents in three games. |
1989 | The Mets win their 11th consecutive home opener, beating St. Louis at Shea Stadium, 8-4. The Amazins' have now won on Opening Day in 18 of the last 20 seasons. |
2006 | Sportsnet NY, the Mets' new team-owned network, broadcasts its first regular season baseball game. During the third inning of New York's 3-2 victory over the Nationals, SNY experiences technical difficulties which black out the telecast for nearly twenty minutes. |
2009 | The Mets, obligated only to pay the major league minimum of $400,000, sign Gary Sheffield (.225, 19, 57) in hopes of adding a much-needed right-handed bat to the lineup. The 40 year-old offensively challenged outfielder, who has 499 career home runs, was unexpectedly released by the Tigers earlier in the week despite having $14 million left on his contract. |
2009 | On a damp and chilly New York night, both the Mets and Yankees open their new stadiums with exhibition games. The double debut in the Big Apple sees each team come away with a victory when the Amazin's beat the Red Sox, 4-3, and the Bronx Bombers launch three homers to defeat the Cubs, 7-4. |
1964 - New York Mets pitcher Carl Willey suffers a broken jaw when he is hit by a line drive batted by Detroit Tigers outfielder Gates Brown during a spring training loss. Willey will be out until June 6th but his career will be effectively ended.
1966 - The New York Mets sign University of Southern California star Tom Seaver to his first contract, including a $50,000 bonus. Seaver had been selected by the Atlanta Braves in the January draft, but Commissioner Spike Eckert voided the deal when he signed a contract after USC's season had already begun. The Mets beat out the Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phillies in a lottery for Seaver's services.
1969 - First baseman Donn Clendenon ends his retirement and reports to the Montreal Expos. Clendenon, who had refused a trade to the Houston Astros, will eventually be traded to the New York Mets where he will hit 12 home runs and help them win the World Series.
1984: Arbitrator Richard Bloch rules that the Royals' Willie Wilson and the Mets' Jerry Martin can return to action on May 15th, the day their year-long suspensions for cocaine abuse are first due to be reviewed.
2016: In the nationally televised Sunday night game, a rematch of last year's World Series, Kansas City gets the better of the Mets, 4 - 3, as Edinson Volquez is the winner against Matt Harvey. For the Mets, LF Yoenis Cespedes drops a routine fly ball by Mike Moustakas in the 1st, leading to the Royals' first run.
2019 - Jacob deGrom, last year's Cy Young Award winner is back at it. He strikes out 14 Marlins in 7 innings and also hits a homer to lead the Mets to a 6 - 4 win. It is deGrom's 26th consecutive quality start, dating back to 2018, matching the major league record set by Hall of Famer Bob Gibson in 1967-1968.
