Casual DiehardWe Can Pod It Out 88: For No OneOn this date in 1965, the Mets opened their fourth season with an 8-1 loss to the Dodgers at Shea Stadium. The 112-loss season didn’t even have a moment to gather oxygen before Maury Wills led off with a single, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball by Chris Cannizzaro, and scored on a Willie Davis double.

Did any of our subscribers see the Mets’ 1965 opener?If you did see that...2023-04-1207 min
