Tim McCarver had an inside-the-park grand slam in game two of this doubleheader at the Polo Grounds.

This doubleheader was my first trip to a major league game. I went with my Dad. My first impression was I couldn't believe how green the grass was. Then, I was so happy that the Mets won my first game for me. I also remember that when McCarver hit the inside-the-park grand slam, my father said "c'mon its been a long day" and we headed back to Jersey.

First Met game. Nine years old with my dad.

I was a ten year old attending this twin bill on a June Sunday. I felt the muggy heat seated in the Cards visiting dugout owners box, accompanied by my AB Inc. executive dad. I remember Curt Flood sweating profusely in the on-deck circle, barely ten feet away, early in the first game. I swear he and I exchanged the briefest passing glance as he left for the batter's box. The Cards lost that first game but came back to win the night cap highlighted by Time McCarver's inside-the-park grand slam home run abetted by Met's CFer, Jimmy Piersall, slipping as the ball sailed overhead on its way to the Polo Ground's cavernous center field wall.

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.
