Family Guy: "OPENING DAY, AND HERE'S THE FIRST PITCH... AND THE SEASON'S OVER..."

[@donna515]

Diaz and Cano peaked early.

[@declanhughes4107]

I remember that Cowgill home run like it was yesterday... I was working with my grandpa to fix something post-sandy and I was listening on the radio.

[@applefanboy5706]

I was so looking forward to opening day 😞

[@mocha1886]

Me too, I had tickets 😢

[@dudeperfectjrgoat7667]

[@tims3712]

Cowgill center fielder of the future

[@TampaJohn]

My eyes welled up a bit when Tom threw out the first pitch.................Right down the middle, of course. RIP Franchise.

[@johnbishop2949]

The mets will always be amazing and the most entertaining team in sports let's go mets!!!!!!

[@pikapal91]

I had tickets to the game today...

[@donna515]

[@TacoStacks]

This hurts

[@quicksilverbalt]

God I miss baseball 😔

[@MattsYTHandle]

Guess we'll have to wait a lil longer for the 2020 highlight of deGrom pitching a perfect game on Opening Day...

[@JT-wk2ln]

God I miss baseball please God keep NY safe

[@BoscosFinds]

[@Cubaricanator2.0]

Best Birthday Presents right here lmfao

[@thomashand6979]

Should have added the Rey Ordonez throw from the knees in 96.

[@danlivni2097]

83 and 85 were the best opening days for the Mets

[@bigq1977]

GO METS BABY!!!!!!!!!!

[@wa2k99]

Thanks for these videos

[@dwx6618]

Hoping to add a few raising the WS champion banner moments

April 4, 1988 - "is this a circus?". Let's be real, they were playing the Expos...

[@jameshughes6049]

Expos were good back then they just didn't draw fans. They hit 4 off of Dennis Martinez who was a very good pitcher.

[@진상전-j9c]

@@jameshughes6049 love the expos

[@paulmcgartney1606]

Came here to distract myself from braves fans using Tim tebow to say that the mets are "bad" when they haven't won a pennant since 1999 Random venting lol #LFGM

[@fernandosalas8589]

Hope one day the Mets get players like the 80s type of players. You gotta have players that wanna win not just get a pay check.

[@진상전-j9c]

why did so many pitchers' leg kicks look so weird compared to pitchers now?

[@진상전-j9c]

And why did some players have batting helmets with no flaps?

[@courtgizzle]

My favorite is 2000

[@8644mec]

Why? We lost in Japan

[@popeye8427]

I was looking forward to this season

[@popeye8427]

@M Detlef yea Man unfortunatly

[@greenglassdoorjigglypuffcl4470]

Both Cora and Beltran were on that 2009 team, how were they not stealing signs on every pitch?

[@hondaralph4081]

LMAO

[@hondaralph4081]

LMAO

[@dibargamboa4930]

No bobby Bonilla on opening day against st Louis.

[@scottconner3726]

35 Years Ago April, 9, 1985

[@thomasscherrer8393]

That wasn't weight lifting, Timmy.

[@Unconsciouzone]

So in putting together my all Mets team at each position I'm absolutely torn between Piazza and Carter at catcher. Piazza was a better hitter, Carter was a better catcher...tough choice. Well at least first base should be cleared up in a season or two...(If we aren't all dead from the neo black plague that is)

[@jameshughes6049]

Keith Hernandez all day every day. I love Alonso but Keith was special.

[@bkgangstapianist]

Or maybe even carlos delgado..

[@jameshughes6049]

@@bkgangstapianist wasn't a Met long enough

[@Unconsciouzone]

@@jameshughes6049 I hear ya, tough to put anyone else there...but I kinda have the same problem with Keith at first as you do with Delgado. Keith won a ring before he got to NY...that feels a bit icky to me...but yeah deserves the spot as things stand.

[@jameshughes6049]

@@Unconsciouzone But Keith also won a ring for us & realistically without him we never win that title.

[@wilmtigers]

I'm always so disappointed in the extremely low definition of video from the 80s and 90s. I don't remember the quality, in real time, being so poor. I think the trick is you gotta find the "mother tape", the first generation videotape of these events. In the Mets' case, WOR-TV should have those. Instead, so many of these "compilation" clips (even from official MLB team channels) seem to rely on sourcing other KZbin videos for their archival content. The result is you, the viewer, are seeing something that's, in effect, 5, 6, or more generations removed from the master tape. On top of that, KZbin itself is known to compress video quality on much of their 4:3 content. The resulting loss of definition is such that the videos almost look to be in some middle ground between live action video and cartoons.

Opening day for the Mets is always the day the season begins and ends for them.

[@wilsonfisk6626]

Bob "Mr. Met" Heussler sent me here.

[@thebambino4728]

How THE HELL is this video OVER 15 MINUTES LONG ?? I didn't think they could STRETCH TWO MOMENTS THAT LONG , LOL !!!
