My first baseball game ever. I was 9 years old and will never forget walking up the tunnel to the seats and seeing how bright the lights were. The game went 17 innings - if memory serves me correctly Jim Davenport hit a homer in the 17th to win it for the Giants (although I was back in the bus sleeping by then). Been to Shea many times since then but you always remember the first. Great website.

It was a Jim Davenport homer in the 17th inning that gave the Giants a 5-4 win. The Giants improved to 22-7 and this win was their twelfth in a row.

My father was at this game. He remembers it was a packed house at Shea. I was not into baseball then.

Ray Sadecki's appearance in this game was interesting. He was making his debut as a member of the Giants after his trade from St. Louis a few days earlier. Sadecki's final game as a Cardinal before the deal was one in which he suffered defeat to the Mets and got the only hit off Jack Hamilton. For the second consecutive time, but with a different team, Ray was pitching against the Mets with Hamilton as his mound opponent.

Neither Sadecki nor Hamilton would be around long enough for a decision. The game lasted 17 innings and ended with a San Francisco victory on a home run by Jim Davenport off reliever Dave Eilers. It also featured Billy Murphy's first major league homer - a three-run blast against Sadecki in the bottom of the fourth.

Packed house. First night game attended 8 years old. Walking under stands towards box seats as #3 batter is announced. Crowd explodes in standing ovation as Willie Mays steps in batters box. Jim Hickman broke finger diving for foul ball in first inning and left game. I was charged up and awake even though game went past midnight.

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.
