Weird things seem to happen to the New York Mets in years where they actually make a deep playoff run. For instance, the 2015 Mets were no-hit twice. Nearly a full decade earlier in 2006, another strange occurrence took place on August 15.
Against the Philadelphia Phillies down in the City of Brotherly Love, the boys from Queens matched up against a far inferior rival. The game seemed to get off to a good start. Leadoff hitter Jose Reyes smacked a leadoff home run to begin the game against Philadelphia pitcher Randy Wolf.
