This Day in Mets History

[metirish]

Game 7 against the Cardinals,  Jeff Suppan V Oliver Perez 

 

Memories? Obviously Wainwright and Beltran, but I had forgotten that the Mets had loaded the bases in the 6th only for Jose Valentin to strike out and Endy Chavez to fly out,  a good look back with this article from Mark Simon from 10 years ago

Yeah, that Valentin strikeout was a kneecapper.

This also the day that "Kalvin Koonce" and his teammates made their singing debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, also featuring the debut of Jack DiLauro's impressionist act.
