METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 25, 1971 GAME:

NYB Buff
October 4, 2023
The Mets beat the Pirates in fifteen innings in this game on the last Saturday of the season. The winning run came on Bob Aspromonte's single that drove home Tim Foli. This was Aspromonte's 1,103rd and final hit of his major league career. It was also Bob's second walk-off single in extra innings during the year. He also had one against the Phillies four months earlier.

In the top of the 15th, Frank Taveras entered as a pinch-runner for Willie Stargell to make his major league debut. Taveras would become the Bucs' regular shortstop for five seasons before his trade to the Mets in 1979.

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!
