This was the second game I ever attended (the first one being a few weeks earlier on June 2nd vs the Dodgers) as a third grader growing up in Englewood, NJ.

I remember sitting in the left field upper deck and being part of a large crowd (well over 50,000) to see the defending NL champs on this Friday night. By this time, the Mets were comfortably over .500 and the fans were beginning to believe.

The Mets got to Bob Gibson and won the game 4-3....but not before Gibson hit a home run. I had thought that the Mets knocked Gibson out of the game, but apparently not. In doing some more research, I was astounded to see that Gibson made the last out of the game! That's something that you would never see today; the starting pitcher making the last out of the game!

Oh, by the way, the starting pitcher for the Mets was a young Nolan Ryan.
