Re: Club Three

I was too young for the first three. But I think I watched 6 of the last 7. (The Ike Davis game being the exception.)

Re: Club Three

I was seriously like "who the hell are Dick Botelho and Ron Meredith?" -- turns out those are (almost) actual people. (It was Derek Botelho, now a pitching coach in the Miami system, apparently.)

I remember six of the last seven; don't remember Ike's at all.

Re: Club Three

I remember Jim Hickman's. But for some reason I recalled that he had done it against the Cubs.

Re: Club Three

I remember Strawberry's most vividly. I also recall Reyes and Carter and Claudell Washington.

I have no memory of Ike Davis', and Beltran's vaguely rings a bell. (Vanis Takee, Carlos!)

Re: Club Three

The Strawberry game was the first Mets game I ever got to see from the stands at age 10.

There was no turning back after that...I was hooked on the team.

Re: Club Three

Sorry to mess up Botelho's name. I actually kind of remember him well (as well as could be expected). He was a sad sacrificial lamb — an over-his-head call-up during a period where Chicago had pretty much their entire starting rotation (which had been a fantastic recycled veteran unit in 1984) on the disabled list. I think he gave up two homers to Gary Carter in his very next start. Meridith was an emergency fill-in also, I think.

I think of everyone from that era in terms of baseball cards, which is why I didn't recognize either name. Meridith made it into the 1986 Donruss set, but despite 24 innings in 1983 with KC and 44 with the Cubs in '85, never made it to the big time cardboard.

I remember hearing Strawberry's third homer on a transistor radio (!) in the Long Island Rail Road waiting area in Penn Station.

Did anyone see the Ike Davis game? Does anyone remember having seen the Ike Davis game? (I didn't/don't, either.)

Re: Club Three

Pretty comparable to Ike's three-homer game.

Only the third Met to get three homers in a game off of three different pitchers.

Re: Club Three

It reads like a line from one of those old awful Jayson Stark stat dump columns: "It took the Mets 53 years to get their first three-home run game at home, by Kirk Nieuwenhuis on July 12. So of course the next one came just seventeen days later, by Lucas Duda."

This thread needs Tommy Lasorda's opinion of Kingman's performance!
