METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 5, 1990 GAME:

This was the game that really started the Mets on their amazing streak. As little used and little known Tom O'Malley hit the game winning homer in extra innings to beat the Expos. The Mets would go on to play some of the best baseball in team history over the next 5 weeks.

I would love to see this game again.

I watched it on TV in my room in Woodbridge, NJ, on a 8" Zenith TV, sorting baseball cards. I'll always remember how excited I got when Tom O'Malley hit his walk-off home run. I started jumping around the room like a little kid (I was 12). It was the last time I would ever do that, at least until the Game 5 of the 1999 NLCS.

In my memory, this game was the last hurrah of the "magic" of the 1984-1990 Mets. There may have been other thrillers later in 1990, but I don't remember them.

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.
