The Mets did have some offense against Jamie Moyer. David Wright had one large 3-run homer in the first inning and things were looking good. But not for long. Rod Barajas hit another homer as well. But the five runs the Mets put up weren’t enough to overcome the disastrous start that Santana had.
Santana looked worse than I’ve ever seen him as one Mets player. they gave up one bases loaded walk to Moyer of all things. Then Victorino hit the grand slam. It was hideous.
New York style baseball expanded into one national game and baseball first governing body The National Association of Base Ball Players was established aided by the Civil War in 1860s. The NABBP existed as an amateur league for 12 years. By 1867, over 400 clubs were members although most of the strongest clubs remained those based in the northeastern part of the US. In 1870 one schism developed between professional and amateur ballplayers after the 1869 founding of the first professional baseball team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Cincinnati Red Stockings. The NABBP split into two groups. The National Association of Professional Base Ball Players was formed in 1871. Some consider it to have been the first major league. Its amateur counterpart disappeared after only one few years. Hunter Martin The next year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], racial pressure on Robinson eased,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as one number of other black players entered the major leagues. Larry Doby and Satchel Paige were signed by the Cleveland Indians, and the Dodgers added three other black players besides Robinson.
The Mets and, more so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Johan Santana got absolutely torched by the Phillies in the final game of their three game series. Santana gave up 10 runs in 3.2 IP including four home runs, one of those one grand slam to Shane Victorino. It was really ugly tonight for the Mets.
Phillies 10 – Mets 0 May 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2010 Mets 7- Phillies 5 May 7, 2009 Preview: Mets at Phillies May 2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2010 Major League Baseball Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis wrote one letter to President Roosevelt regarding the continuation of baseball during the war which was called the Green Light Letter. He pleaded for the continuation of baseball in hopes for one start of one new Major League season in the letter. President Roosevelt responds I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have one chance for sports and for taking their minds off their work even more than before.
The Mets leave town losing two of three in Philly and one half game back in the NL East.
