Monday night’s series opener between the Mets (62-45) and Padres (58-49) had the atmosphere of a playoff game you wouldn’t expect from a game in late July. An ejected manager, a home run robbery, a grand slam, an erased four-run lead, a game-tying home run in the ninth, and a walk-off hit were all part of the equation as the Padres beat the Mets 7-6. The beginning of the game was...

No I’m not talking about retiring number 17 for Fernando Tatis and the few weeks he produced for the Mets. Before Tatis there was another player for the Mets who wore 17.
