Thanks to Mike Baxter who probably shortened his career to make an incredible catch

[@ROBJPHIL2006]

Santana's career was shortened by this game as well.

[@lilleff512]

Santana and Baxter both sacrificed their left shoulders and the remainder of their careers to make Mets history together, and I think that's beautiful.

I dispute the Santana claim (see above), but yeah. Mike from Whitestone got bit by wall almost as badly as Ron Jones, way back when.

[@matthewrivera3870]

Steven Matz first game should be honorable mention...his grandfather still gives me goosebumps

I remember that... He hit well that game, too; never had the talent or Syndergaard or deGrom, but he is a hard worker and (I think) has potential

[@brianfriedy5722]

I was at that game. It was a double header because of a suspended game and it went from the 7th to 14th inning and then Matz lit it up pitching and hitting after giving up a lead off homer to start the game

This list was trash. Also the back to back Dickey 1 hitters

[@ekerson]

Flores HR is #1. What he went through and what it meant for the team at that time. Mets hit rock bottom before that with blown game to San Deigo. It was the spark game that lead the Mets to the WS.

[@oscarschapiro9942]

Completely agree. Harvey is so disgusting when we got out of the bases loaded jam that smoke from his chewing tobacco came out of his mouth.

[@glynnzitkus8823]

Honorable mention: to the game David Wright came back from the DL and his first AB he hits a long shot into the upper deck in Philly sometime in the 2017 season I think!!!

[@Jessica_Roth]

August 24, 2015. The Mets go on to hit a club-record 8 HRs in pounding the Phils. And an honorable mention to "Jacob DeGrom souvenir Hair-Hat Night", September 17, 2016. Not just for the awesome giveaway, or because I got my first foul ball ever (off Brian Dozier, 3rd pitch of the game), but because that was Granderson's switch-hit HRs in extra innings, tying in the bottom of the 11th, winning in the bottom of the 12th. Second-best win of that whole run, behind only the Reyes/Cabrera game against the Phils.

[@noahmets]

2015

That was 2015 and they came back from down 5 hitting a team record 8 hrs that night

[@rodgrodg4hk269]

[@nymets1104]

Were these purposely put in reverse chronological order? Very odd presentation

[@ATCguy1973]

Should've showed Baxter's catch during the no hitter

Praying that DeGrom and Syndergaard throw no hitters this year. When Syndergaard;s curve balls are near the plate he is lights out, when its not he becomes a 1 pitch pitcher and gets rocked.

[@hallsyhockey774]

Henrik lundqvist Carmelo Anthony jeter Wright ...also that was a meaningless game in an aweful 2013 season

[@brenislanders]

@@hallsyhockey774 in the years I mentioned, Harvey started in the All Star Game at Citi Field, became a fan and city favorite, being called the dark night, came back as a stellar ace in 2015 after tommy john, and helped get the Mets to the world series. Henrik in those years, while he was a great goaltender for the rangers, he was nowhere on the level as impactful as Harvey, to his city. While Wright was the captain of the Mets, and had always been an amazing person and players, in those 3 years, it was Harvey who because that _guy_ for the Mets, and New York. Jeter retired in 2014, so he was absent for one of the years I mentioned anyways, and his play had been declining in those years mentioned as well. For Harvey, he was hitting his peak in those years. The only real comparable player to Harvey in those years has to be Carmelo. From the All Star appearences to the scoring title in I forget what year, while being from New York, he was the only one really close to Harvey in that period.

[@plaidomelette4358]

I will also say one of the best games I seen was on espn when we hosted the Nats at Citi and we swept them in 3 games and Duda, granderson and Murphy hit back to back to back home runs. Wild game.
