METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 11, 1991 GAME:

Dave VW
September 28, 2022
This was the Mets only win at home against the NL champion Braves in all of 1991. They lost 2 out of 3 in this series and got swept in a 3-game series in September. They barely got enough to win here, a McReynolds 2-run homer their only offense. It was his first home run at Shea since September 11 of the previous year. The Mets managed just two base runners outside of their 2-run fourth inning, as the offense continued their struggles.

Luckily Viola was up to the task. He took a perfect game all the way into the 6th inning when Rafael Belliard reached on a wild pitch after swinging at strike three with one out. He scored two batters later when Ron Gant singled to end the no-hitter. Viola put two runners on in both the 7th and 8th but got out of danger both times, then started the 9th but exited after the game was delayed almost an hour by rain. Franco got the last two outs to seal the win. Not counting the rain delay, this was the quickest Mets game of the 1991 season, clocking in at 1 hour and 53 minutes.

I also noticed for the first time that Rick Cerone didn't wear a batting helmet with ear flaps. I don't know how that thing stayed on his head.

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.
