METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 5, 1969 GAME:

Steve
January 6, 2015
My Mom and Dad took me to Shea for my first big league games on this day. This was the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, and Tom Seaver got his twentieth win to become the first to achieve that mark in Mets' history, although I was not aware of it at the time. I was six years old and remember the excitement I felt as the train got closer to the Willets Point station on our trip from Long Island and first caught a glimpse of the inside of the left field side of the stadium. It still gives me chills. Remarkably, I cannot remember anything specific from either game, but I do recall we sat in the mezzanine just beyond first base and I do have a distinct memory of a girl gymnast jumping on a trampoline set up on the infield for between games entertainment. My Mom took me to a souvenir stand during the game and bought me a copy of the 1969 yearbook, which was only fifty cents, a badge with Cleon Jones on it, and a replica batting helmet, which I broke the next day. However, I still have the Jones badge. What a great time!

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
