HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Further to Mark Eckert's comment above, Stephenson's home run in 1966 against the Giants came in the bottom of the eighth inning with one out and Jerry Grote on second, and the home run made the score Giants 6, Mets 3. John was pinch-hitting for Dallas Green in what would be Green's last appearance in a Mets uniform (as a player, that is!).

The Mets scored another run in the eighth on a Larry Elliot single and then added one more when Ken Boyer homered leading off the ninth to make it 6-5. With Ron Hunt and Stephenson on base, Ron Swoboda hit the three- run homer to win it, 8-6.

Johnny is featured on a 16-foot mural in Portsmouth, Ohio (though he was born in South Portsmouth, Kentucky), wearing his Mets uniform.

He is my uncle and he is from South Portsmouth, Ky. The mural he is on is in Portsmouth, Ohio which is right across the river from South Portsmouth, hence the name. It is painted on the flood wall on the banks of the Ohio River. There is no flood wall on the Kentucky side.
