  This Date in Mets History

  Jim Hickman becomes the first Met to hit three home runs in a game as New York posts a 6-3 win at St. Louis on September 3, 1965…Jerry Koosman extends his scoreless streak to 29.0 consecutive innings by blanking the Phillies, 5-0, on September 3, 1973…Tom Seaver fans Philadelphia’s Tommy Hutton for his ninth consecutive season of 200-or-more strikeouts on September 3, 1976…Seaver defeats the Phillies, 1-0, in that contest. It's Ced Landrum birthday and he was born in 1963.
