| John Franco at The Vet |
Veterans Stadium, Sec 342 Row 5
I can't imagine staying in my seats very long. The 300 level at the Vet was wedged under a canopy. You could only view the playing surface or the cold concrete underside of the 400 level above you. It was like being in a rowhouse basement with a low drop ceiling.
Ron Darling v Jason Grimsley. A Tuesday night game. Only 20,000 in attendance. Wonder why I was here.
It was a pitching duel until the bottom of the 5th. The Mets scored an unearned run to put themselves in the lead 1-0. They managed to manufacture another run in the 6th with walk, a steal and a wild pitch by Grimsley.
The Phils brought in Joe "The Saver" Boever in the relief in the 7th. Charlie Hayes doubled in Von Hayes, who was on first after drawing a walk to pull the Phils with in one. But closer John Franco was too much for the Phils and he held on to the 2-1 lead for a win.
