Game Rewind: October 8, 2000

Bobby J. Jones gets the ball in Game 4 of the 2000 NLDS at Shea Stadium. Win and move on. Lose — and it’s back to SF for a decisive Game 5.

With the New York Mets one win away from advancing to the National League Championship Series, Bobby Valentine handed the ball to Bobby J. Jones for Game 4 of the NLDS at Shea Stadium.

But before Jones could throw the game’s first pitch it was Mets legend Tug McGraw who took the mound to deliver the ceremonial first pitch.
