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.

[@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.

[@pikapal91]

I had tickets to the game today...

[@donna515]

I had tickets for this weekend. SIGH.

[@matthewy.6120]

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

DW X Yankee has more titles

[@thomashand6979]

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

[@BoscosFinds]

i miss my mets :(

[@wa2k99]

Thanks for these videos

[@mikeL5183]

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.

[@user-rn2ek8hn6i]

@@jameshughes6049 love the expos

[@user-rn2ek8hn6i]

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

[@user-rn2ek8hn6i]

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

[@danlivni2097]

83 and 85 were the best opening days for the Mets

[@Cubaricanator2.0]

Best Birthday Presents right here lmfao

[@bigq1977]

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

[@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.

[@popeye8427]

I was looking forward to this season

[@popeye8427]

@M Detlef yea Man unfortunatly

[@courtgizzle]

My favorite is 2000

35 Years Ago April, 9, 1985

[@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

[@alexrussell3798]

Seeing Noah in 2018 OD 😭

[@dtechvinnie]

Remember Neil Allen lol

[@dtechvinnie]

@M Detlef we got Keith Hernandez

[@greenglassdoorjigglypuffcl4470]

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

[@hondaralph4081]

LMAO

[@hondaralph4081]

LMAO

[@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.

Lenny was only weightlifting...

That wasn't weight lifting, Timmy.

[@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.

[@Psandoval85]

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

[@explosivediarrhea4671]

Nats are World Series champs

[@Frankieefootballmundial]

I didn’t know Hyundai exist in 1988

[@thebambino4728]

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