| 1973 | The Cardinals play three Cruz brothers, Cirilo, Hector, and Jose, all nine innings in the outfield during the team's 9-2 spring training victory over New York at Al Lang Field. The trio of Puerto Rican siblings personally outscore the Mets, batting first, second, and third in the Redbird's lineup, making all three outs in the first and eighth frames. |
| 1978 | The Mets deal an unhappy 33-year-old Bud Harrelson, who lost his starting job when the team obtained Tim Foli from the Giants to Philadelphia for approximately $50,000, and minor-league call-up Freddie Andrews, an infielder who will never play another game in the major leagues. As an 11-year veteran, the fan-favorite shortstop could have vetoed the trade but chose to go to Philadelphia to play for a contending team, where he will back up Larry Bowa. |
| 2015 | Deciding to have lunch in the air-conditioned clubhouse, Noah Syndergaard, not scheduled to pitch in the Mets' intrasquad scrimmage, is quietly but firmly reprimanded by team captain David Wright who demands he join his teammates in the dugout immediately. When the stunned 22-year-old rookie right-hander hesitates, fellow moundsman Bobby Parnell tosses the former first-rounder's nearly full plate of food into a nearby trash can. |
