Remembering the 1964 New York Mets and their inaugural season in Shea Stadium ---
" Been in this game one hundred years, but I still see new ways to lose 'em that I never knew even existed."
- Casey Stengel, mgr
Pictured above: Original game program from the day the lovable losers dropped a doubleheader to the San Francisco Giants, Memorial Day 1964. The Mets would tear up the record books this day and cut an LP record of their own, as the second game loss took 7 1/2 hours and 23 innings to accomplish. Surely this was one of those ways the 'Old Perfesser' was referring to.
