METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JUNE 18, 2017 GAME:

O. B. White
July 14, 2020
Jacob deGrom hit his first major league home run in this game. He led off the third inning with a drive off Washington's Joe Ross that landed over the left field wall. The Mets then scored four more runs for a victory on Father's Day at Citi Field.

The homer by deGrom created an amazing case of deja vu. It came exactly 45 years after Tom Seaver slugged a home run to give the Mets the lead for good in a win over the Reds. Not only did Jacob's and Tom's homers come on the same calendar date, but they were both hit against pitchers named Ross (Seaver connected off Cincinnati's Ross Grimsley) on a Father's Day afternoon. Also, the uniform numbers of #48 deGrom and #41 Seaver were the same for Grimsley and Joe Ross, respectively. The baseball gods can present themselves in mysterious ways!

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.

Thank you!
