Game Summary
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
On the brisk afternoon of September 17, 1966, the New York Mets squared off against the San Francisco Giants in a regular-season Major League Baseball game. The Mets, in their fifth year of existence, were still in the process of finding their footing in the league, while the Giants were powered by a lineup that included future Hall of Famers Willie Mays and Willie McCovey. The game took place during the height of the MLB pennant race, a pivotal time in the season when teams were jostling for position in the standings. The Giants, who were in the thick of the National League pennant race, were looking to capitalize on every opportunity to gain ground. The Mets, on the other hand, were playing for pride and the chance to play spoiler to the Giants' postseason aspirations.
