    Old Timers Day 1976 at Shea was my first of hundreds of MLB games... Astros 1 Mets 0 Andujar vs Seaver & both pitched a CG... Ceaser Cedeno led off the game with an HR top 1st & that's where it stayed... LFGM

    Really enjoyed this. Thanks for posting. Last full season for Tom Terrific and Big Dave. The bottom fell out the next season. Thank you M. Donald Grant. You are to me what Walter O’Malley was to the Brooklyn Dodgers fans: A SOB.

    The 1976 team had great pitching. With a decent offense, they’d have won 10 more games.

    "...well maintained..." NO After the last two years with 3 other tenants, splintered seats, crumbling concrete, potholes in
    parking lot, dirty/non-working restrooms and sinkholes around the field were the norm as NYC was falling into near bankruptcy,
    putting it's efforts into the reno Yankee Stadium the Parks Dept. deferred maintenance.
    The passing of Joan Payson gave MD Grant and others in her family who were similarly unqualified more influence over
    Joe McDonald and the franchise overall. The beginning of the downward slide.
    Weak hitting Pepe Mangual arrived in a trade for Wayne Garrett and a few tickets for the Olympic Games in Montreal.
    You don't win pennants with Roy Staiger, Bruce Boisclair, Pepe Mangual, Mike Phillips, Craig Swan etc..
    Clip of Seaver backing up plate was from his 1st MLB start. The light colored outfield fence visible and gone soon after.
    As bad as weather conditions could be at Shea, leaving Candlestick had to be a plus for Kingman.
    "...much more (fun) to come..." ahhh, NO.

      YES, 1977 thru 1983 not a happy time to be a METS fan 😢‼️

    It would be the last season Mets fans would enjoy until 1984. Casey and Joan Payson would be gone, bad front office decisions led by the trading of Tom Seaver, and after setting a club record at the time with 105 RBI's, Staub was traded to Detroit for Mickey Lolich, who only came to NY because he was offered a pretty good amount of $$.

    Seaver finished 14-11, but still led the league in ERA and strikeouts, racking up 200 or more Ks for the ninth season in a row. He had a lot of no-decisions that year. KIngman was on his way to a 50+ home run season when he suffered torn ligaments in his thumb while diving to make a catch and wound up with 37. Koosman won 21 games that year. It would be the last winning season for the team until 1984.

      I happened to be there for the game when Kingman got hurt. It was against the Braves. We had a cousin visiting from out of town who wanted to go to a Mets game and got to see that bit of misery. Dave Kingman trying to make a diving catch was really asking for disaster. Joe Torre should have had a special rule for Kingman: "If in doubt, catch it on the first bounce."

    This wasn’t a bad year, but the Phillies won 101. No wild card, so we were done early
