METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 26, 2015 GAME:
Gold Finger
October 9, 2017
This was the game that clinched the National League East Division title for the Mets. Lucas Duda got things started off big with a grand slam in the first inning and the team never looked back. Curtis Granderson and David Wright also homered and Michael Cuddyer chipped in with a two-run double. One oddity about the game is the Reds outhit the Mets, thirteen to ten. But only one of the Cincinnati hits produced any runs.
Jay Bruce struck out to end it and the celebration was on. When he became a Met the next year, Bruce joined Joe Torre (1969) and Chico Walker (1986) as players who made the final out of a Mets
division clincher and played for them later in their careers.

I remember several Mets home runs in this division-clinching game, and I recall that the Mets were in control and cruising from early in the game, but my lasting memory is that I purchased my ticket for this game in mid-August (I live two hours from Cincy) in the hopes that they would clinch on this date. Only a true Mets fan could believe in that type of Mets Magic, right?!? I loved seeing all the players in blue and orange jumping up and down around the mound at the end - what an indelible moment! Thanks for this great website - it is much appreciated!

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!
