With Joe Janish of Mets Today beating me to the exhaustive list of Citi Field firsts, I decided to focus on Citi Field’s seconds.
Here is a list of things that almost became trivia questions…
- Second hit: David Eckstein, single, second inning.
- Second home run: Adrian Gonzalez, solo home run, fifth inning.
- Second RBI: David Eckstein driving in Walter Silva, second inning.
- Second run: Walter Silva, on an Eckstein double, second inning.
- Second strikeout: Nick Hundley, by Mike Pelfrey, third inning.
- Second walk: Ryan Church, by Walter Silva, second inning.
- Second pinch hit: Edgar Gonzalez, for Edwar Mujica, sixth inning.
- Second Mets hit: Luis Castillo, RBI double, second inning.
- Second Mets home run: N/A.
- Second Mets RBI: Daniel Murphy, RBI single, fifth inning.
- Second Mets run: Gary Sheffield, on Murphy RBI single, fifth inning.
Anything I missed?
