Read: 20 Years Ago Today
In the Star-Ledger, Dan Graziano recalls one of my least favorite memories of all time: Cardinals 3B Terry Pendelton’s home run off of Mets RHP Roger McDowell
against the Mets on September 11, 1987.
…frankly, any time a hit is so powerful you know, definitively, that the season is over, it’s gonna be memorable and painful…
As Graziano points out, McDowell and Pendleton will be at Shea Stadium tonight, both of whom coach with the Braves.
As a follow-up, in a second post for the Star-Ledger, Graziano details the five worst losses for the Mets since the Pendelton home run, which include…
- Mike Scioscia’s home run off Doc Gooden
- Kenny Rogers walking Andruw Jones
- Armando Benitez in the 2000 World Series
- Benitez and John Franco vs. Braves in 2001
- Beltran’s K in the NLCS last season
…ok, and now i’m depressed…thanks, dan…
