METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE JULY 16, 1978 GAME:

John Hanson
May 21, 2021
I was 6 years old and at this game as a Reds fan and a huge Johnny Bench fan. In the 6th inning, my dad caught a foul ball off the bat of Bench and handed it directly to me. In November 2019, over 41 years later Bench came to my home area as part of a local baseball fundraiser. During a Q & A session, I told the story in front of 1000 people and he signed the ball! It all started in section 204 in Cincy on 7/16/78.

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!
