Pete Alonso and Brandon Nimmo each went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts last night in Georgia, another rough night in a rough season, and another little edit to the Mets' history books.The list of career three-strikeout games is an interesting one, because it's one of those things… like… you've got to be pretty good to be in the lineup to strike out three times regularly enough to be on the list. So, it's probably not a surprise that David Wright holds the record at 61, for as long as he was a power-hitting Met. It's a pretty wide gap, 10 of these games, to number two on the list, Michael Conforto at 51. Then it's Darryl Strawberry at 48, and now a tie for fourth at 44 between Dave Kingman and Alonso.Nimmo already was in the top 10, and now has broken his tie with Ron Swoboda for ninth place. Nimmo's 30th three-strikeout game puts him six behind the two men tied for sixth, Tommie Agee and Lucas Duda. Rounding out that top 10, with 28 times striking out three times in a game, is Jerry Koosman, who more than made up for it with the strikeouts he racked up on the mound — 1,799 of his 2,556 career K's came in orange and blue.The next 10 are pretty interesting as a mix: Curtis Granderson and Mookie Wilson at 24; Todd Hundley, Howard Johnson, and Cleon Jones at 22; Ike Davis at 21; Mike Piazza at 20; Carlos Beltrán and Tom Seaver at 19; and it's actually 11, not 10, because tied for 20th place on this list are Carlos Delgado and Francisco Lindor, with 18 three-strikeout games as Mets.Lindor was 1-for-2 last night, with a walk and a hit by pitch. That moved him up to sole possession of 48th place on the Mets' all-time list for reaching base three times in a game. He's done it 65 times now, snapping a tie with Ángel Pagán. Next time Lindor gets on base three times, he'll tie George Foster and Todd Zeile for 46th, with Gregg Jefferies (67), Hubie Brooks (69), and Ron Swoboda (70) on the radar. Wright has that team record at 336, with Nimmo the active leader at 142 (13th all-time, between Mookie and Lee Mazzilli), and Alonso even with Jeff McNeil at 109 (a 22nd-place tie between Conforto and Kevin McReyonlds).The top 11 Mets, ahead of Nimmo and Wilson, for reaching base three times in a game?* Wright, 336* José Reyes, 238* Edgardo Alfonzo, 196* Strawberry, 192* Jones & Piazza, 186* Keith Hernandez, 185* Beltrán, 171* HoJo, 170* Bud Harrelson, 168* Ed Kranepool, 154 This is a public episode.

Yesterday, Pete Alonso had the 186th game in Mets history with a home run and a caught stealing. It was the first time that Alonso has done this in his career, which makes him the 91st Met to post such a performance.No Met had homered and been caught stealing in a game since last July 4, when Brandon Nimmo did it in Cincinnati. Nimmo has had three of these games, and the Mets have won nine of the 10 games since the start of the 2019 season where they had a player go deep but also get nabbed.The somewhat dubious team record for a single-season is four, set by Lee Mazzilli in 1978 and matched by Darryl Strawberry in 1985. Strawberry is the franchise leader at 16 games with a homer and caught stealing, with Mazzilli at 11, followed by Howard Johnson at eight, José Reyes at 7, and David Wright and Joel Youngblood at five apiece.What Alonso would like to have done yesterday is have his seventh career game with a homer and a steal, which would snap a tie with Lenny Dykstra and tie Lindor and Cleon Jones for 11th on the Mets' franchise list. Ahead of them, and more in Lindor's sights in the years to come? Strawberry's team record of 35 should be safe for a while, with Johnson (28), Reyes (27), and Wright (20) all far above the rest of the field. Then it's Carlos Beltrán and Mookie Wilson (13), Kevin McReynolds (12), Tommie Agee (10), and Mike Cameron and Dave Kingman (9).According to Stathead, the career leaders for homer/steal games are…* Barry Bonds, 102* Rickey Henderson, 87* Álex Rodriguez, 65* Bobby Bonds, 61* Joe Morgan, 60* Willie Mays, 58* César Cedeño, 48* Beltran, 44* Bobby Abreu, 43* Jeff Bagwell, Tim Raines, Alfonso Soriano, Larry Walker, 42* Strawberry, 40And to get back where we started, the leaders for homer/caught stealing combo games…* Mays, 29* Babe Ruth, 27* Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, 25* Bobby Bonds, 24* Henderson, 22* José Canseco, 21* Cedeño, Lou Gehrig, Mike Schmidt, 20* Morgan, Gary Sheffield, Strawberry, 19One more note on Alonso. As he tied Keith Hernandez on the Mets' career RBI list, he also tied Mex in homer/caught stealing games. It was also against the Pirates, but at Three Rivers Stadium, on April 21, 1987: Hernandez was caught stealing by the battery of Brian Fisher and Junior Ortiz, but took Bob Walk deep for an insurance run that helped lessen the impact of Barry Bonds' three-run homer off Bob Ojeda in the eighth. Hernandez singled and scored in the ninth, and Jesse Orosco closed out the 9-6 contest, getting Bobby Bonilla to ground out to end it with Bonds, who would have represented the tying run had he gotten the chance to hit, left on deck.

“A strong argument can be made that Fernando Valenzuela brought more new fans to the game of baseball than anyone going back to probably Babe Ruth's era,” notes baseball historian and New York Times best-selling collaborator Erik Sherman, author of Daybreak at Chavez Ravine: Fernandomania and the Remaking of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before tackling the (largely) untold story of the phenom hailed by sportswriters as “the Mexican Sandy Koufax,” and assessing Valenzuela's impact on the game, Erik made a name for himself as one of publishing's leading chroniclers of our national pastime. As a ghostwriter, he helped to write Out at Home with Glenn Burke, baseball's first openly gay player; Steve Blass: A Pirate for Life; Mookie: Life, Baseball, and the '86 Mets with Mookie Wilson; Davey Johnson: My Wild Ride in Baseball and Beyond; and After the Miracle: The Lasting Brotherhood of the '69 Mets, with Art Shamsky. On his own, he has also written the companion volumes Kings of Queens and Two Sides of Glory, featuring chapter-length profiles of the Mets and Red Sox players on both sides of the storied 1986 World Series.   A 2023 inductee to the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame for his baseball writing, Erik lectures annually at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. He is the host of the popular podcast “The Erik Sherman Show,” featuring interviews with sportswriters, broadcasters, baseball executives and former players.

The A's held their 50th anniversary celebration for the 1973 World Series yesterday, and Brandon Nimmo was not having it. In fact, Nimmo was so not down with the Oakland dynasty that he decided to make the day more about the 1969 Mets, emulating Fall Classic catches by Tommie Agee and Ron Swoboda.Swoboda couldn't help the Mets in 1973 against the A's because he was traded with Rich Hacker to the Expos right before the 1971 season, in exchange for Don Hahn. It wasn't Hahn's fault that the Mets couldn't take down Oakland 50 years ago, as he went 3-for-4 in Game 7 and was on base in the ninth inning when Wayne Garrett, representing the tying run at the plate at Oakland Coliseum, popped up to end it.After the next season, Hahn was part of the trade that sent Tug McGraw to Philadelphia, and brought Mac Scarce, John Stearns, and Del Unser to New York. Scarce was traded a few months later for Tom Hall, who was meh out of the 1975 Mets bullpen and then traded to the Royals for minor leaguer Bryan Jones, who never advanced past A-ball, early in the 1976 season. Stearns only played one game with the Phillies, then 810 for the Mets from 1975-84, so he had some extremely bad teammates over the years. Unser may be thought of as one of those, as one of the classic ‘70s dudes who couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag — Unser had a .677 career OPS — but he did hit .294/.337/.392 for the 1975 Mets, with 10 of his 87 career home runs, a total that trailed only Dave Kingman (37) and Rusty Staub (19) on a team that hit a total of just 101 dingers.The Mets traded Unser in July of 1976 to the Expos, along with Garrett, for Jim Dwyer and Pepe Mangual. Dwyer, who was in the majors until 1990, only took 15 plate appearances in 11 games as a Met, then was part of a three-team trade that sent him to the Cubs, Pete LaCock to the Royals, and Sheldon Mallory to the Mets. Mallory didn't make the Mets out of 1977 spring training and had his contract sold to the A's,where he played his only 64 major league games, hitting .214/.291/.262 with 12 stolen bases.Mangual played nearly five times as many games as a Met than Dwyer did, with 49: the last 49 games he spent in the majors, hitting at a .183/.258/.294 clip before the Mets sent him to the Angels in a deal for Gil Flores.Flores, then, was almost as bad with the bat in 81 games as a Mets reserve outfielder, hitting .213/.281/.279 with one homer, off Bill Bonham in Cincinnati on August 19, 1979. It was an inside-the-parker, according to Baseball Reference, and also didn't save the Mets from a 6-5 loss.The 1979 season wasn't the end of Flores' career. He went to Triple-A Tidewater in 1980 and stayed there for five seasons, stealing a total of 107 bases while playing alongside many of the players — Wally Backman, Jesse Orosco, Darryl Strawberry, and Mookie Wilson to name a few — who wound up winning it all with the 1986 Mets.It's not really a straight line from Swoboda to 1986, just as Nimmo's catch yesterday wasn't exactly the same… but it sure is enough to make you smile and remember why you love this game. If that's the kind of thing you're into. If it's not, and you're asking “who cares about this?” you can join Homer Simpson. This is a public episode.

Welcome to Episode 16 of The Write Start. I'm Lisa Iannucci, and this podcast is all about becoming a successful full-time freelance writer. I've had a very long career where I've written for many national magazines and written more than 20 books. It's my career, not my hobby and, on this podcast, you'll learn from me and my amazing guests everything you need to know about writing for different genres, finding ideas, finding work, pitching editors and more, but most importantly, you'll learn about making money. Let's get started! Last week, I talked to Barbara Clarke about writing memoirs, and this week, I continue that conversation with another Erik Sherman who is on his 7th book working with professional athletes about their life stories. I had the pleasure to talk to Erik about his process, how he started working with these athletes and what else he does in his career. A little about Erik Sherman -- He has been writing professionally since he was 14 years old. He's the author of Out At Home, with former Dodgers and A's outfielder Glenn Burke, who invented the ‘high five' and died tragically of AIDS, is currently being made into a movie by actress/producer Jamie Lee Curtis through Amazon Studios.  Sherman is also the co-author of four other highly acclaimed baseball autobiographies with Steve Blass, Mookie Wilson, Davey Johnson, the 69 Mets, and his most recent book is Two Sides of Glory: The 1986 Boston Red Sox In Their Own Words which has an April 1, 2021 release date.  Erik is an annual lecturer at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.I hope you enjoy the interview.Well, that's it for this week's edition of The Write Start podcast.

The Mets have won 6 of 7! Celebrate by hearing from Mookie Wilson, exploring some of the fun facts from the '86 World Series, and hearing from Mickey Callaway about why Noah Syndergaard is suddenly 12-3.

On February 7, 1898, St. Louis Browns owner Chris von der Ahe left to dine at a local hotel. He never arrived, instead spirited away to Pittsburgh. Mike looks at von der Ahe's strange and inspiring life from his early days as a German immigrant to his kidnapping/arrest to his ultimate downfall. It's a story of inspiration and hubris that wound up shaping the early history of the professional game. Also, happy birthday to Mookie Wilson and Dan Quisenberry!
