METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 5, 1999 GAME:

This game was the same day of my oldest sister's wedding. She married my now brother-in-law Dennis. Daryl Hamilton hit one of his few homers on the perfect day. A grand slam nonetheless. 1999 was such an awesome Mets season, and summer all together for myself. When Daryl Kile faced the Mets, I always was nervous because of his career numbers against them. He shut them down for the first four innings, and then the Mets finally got to him, highlighted by Daryl Hamilton's grand slam. Also, it was one of many good outings for Masato Yoshii that year. I went into the wedding a happy guy. That night was soooo awesome, I drank so much. I remember my grandma from my dad's side blamed my other sister and her friends for giving me the drinks! I was only a 17-year old high school junior. Dennis, the guy my sister married, is also a big Mets fan. So, he fits perfectly with my family.

This game was played on actor Bob Newhart's 70th birthday. A fitting coincidence in that two brothers named Darryl appeared midway through many episodes of his 'Newhart' television series. In the fifth inning, it was a pair of Darryls that were at the center of the game's biggest moment. Colorado's Kile threw a pitch that New York's Hamilton slugged for a grand slam to provide the margin of victory for the home team. A Mets win that had a special celebratory touch to it. Happy birthday, Mr. Newhart!

Anthony, I'm glad you had a good time at the wedding and that your sister married a Mets fan. MetsTV, I love the way you connected this game to Bob Newhart. He was always one of my favorite celebrities. However, neither one of you mentioned the most significant fact about Darryl Hamilton's grand slam. It was the 100th in Mets history.

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.
