Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Newday has been running this thing everyday where they look back at a random game on this date in Shea (also at some other stadium) and give a quickie run-down of that game and the main players involved.Today they go back to June 25th of 1989 and a game that became the first in NL history where the [u:537b4e1895]defense recorded zero assists[/u:537b4e1895].Not surprisingly it was a Sid Fernandez game with 9th inning help from Aguilera. The final tally involved 13 strike-outs, 12 fly/pop-outs, and 2 unassisted groundouts.
Guest sharpie Guests Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I remember that game. The last out came on a grounder to Sid who ran to first base in order to preserve the no-assist aspect.
G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Rick Aguilera, this reminds me, just went into the Twins Hall of Fame. His serious relieving career began in '89 as a Met. I dreamed that summer of a Myers-Aggie closing tandem that would blow away the previous work of Orosco-McDowell. In a way, it worked just that way, just not together or as Mets.Oh well.
Guest AG/DC Guests Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Couldn't have been the last out if Aggie finished up.
Guest Vince Coleman Firecracker Guests Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 The last out, according to BR:L Dykstra Groundout: 1B unassisted (2B-1B)
Guest sharpie Guests Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Did it happen a second time or is my memory just shot? Could be either.
Guest sharpie Guests Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 It did happen a second time. I'm not losing it.http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0CE5DE123CF930A2575AC0A965958260
