Pffff. Gone. And so was any hope of a Mets win — especially in 1963.
The game was called after the eighth inning. No it wasn’t a “mercy rule,” but it would have sufficed.
Final score: Houston - 8, New York 3
Grab a cold Rheingold and join Bob Murphy, Ralph Kiner, and Lindsey Nelson on the latest episode of the @MetsRewind Game Rewind.
National League baseball in New York was redefined on March 6, 1961 when the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club Inc.formally received a certificate of membership from leave president Warren Giles.
Of the 30 Major League Baseball clubs today, the case could be made that no other team has a more compelling franchise history than the New York Mets. From Casey Stengel to Yogi Berra, Marv Throneberryto Tom Seaver, Willie Mays, Tug McGraw, Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Bobby Valentine, Pedro Martinez, Matt Harvey and Pete Alonso, the Mets are loaded with character(s). Then there is the Amazin’ seasons — 1962, 1969, 1973, 1986, 1999-2000, 2006-2008 and 2015 — full of miracles, joy, hope and heartbreak.
