METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 3, 1965 GAME:

Jim Hickman became the first Met ever to hit three homers in a game - and he hit them all against future Met pitcher Ray Sadecki.

Jim Hickman became the first Mets player to hit three home runs in a game on this night in St. Louis. The homers drove in four of the Mets' six runs in their win over the Cardinals. Hickman also had a single in the eighth inning for thirteen total bases and a 4-for-4 game.

Hickman's slugging overshadowed the solid relief pitching of Gordie Richardson against his ex-teammates. A member of the Redbirds' championship team a year earlier, Richardson hurled four scoreless and hitless innings with five strikeouts for a well-earned save. This was the third time that a four-inning save was recorded by a Mets pitcher. Gordie was preceded only by Jay Hook (7/15/63) and Willard Hunter (7/1/64) in accomplishing this feat.

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.
