| 1970 | With two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning at Wrigley Field, Gary Gentry gives up his only hit, a short fly hit by Ernie Banks that outfielder Dave Marshall gets a glove on but cannot hold. The Mets right-hander settles for a one-hit 4-0 victory over the Cubs, just missing the opportunity of being the first hurler in franchise history to throw a no-hit game if official scorer Jim Enright had ruled differently on the blooper to left field. |
| 2000 | The Mets release a disgruntled Rickey Henderson a day after failing to hustle, turning a likely double into a single. When released, the 41-year-old stolen base leader is batting .219 with no homers and two RBIs. |
