Sunday Rainy Sunday: Scheduled Bullpen Game Called Due to Rain

The 59th anniversary of the New York Mets first contest in franchise history bore some parallels to that inaugural game.

A matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals on April 11, 1962 at Busch Stadium I - an 11-4 loss highlighted by a 3-3 day from Mr. Cardinal himself Stan Musial - the baseball-reference page for this game showed a game time temperature of 55 degrees and field conditions that simply read as “soaked.”

Fast-forward 59 years to the day, and the Sunday matchup against the Miami Marlins - coincidentally featuring game time weather of 59 degrees - made it 0.
