The article recounts a humorous moment from a 1986 Mets game where a pitcher struggled to get a ball out of his glove, resulting in an unconventional out. This incident highlighted the Mets' dominance that season, as they led the Giants and went on to win the game. In contrast, a similar incident occurred in a recent game involving the 2025 Mets, though it led to a tie. These moments illustrate the quirky nature of baseball and the importance of resilience in the sport.
I tried three times to get the ball out of my glove. Finally, in desperation, I just threw it.
That was a first for me.
I thought about arguing the call... but I didn't know what to argue about.
The Mets were in first place by twenty games.
