1936-Dave Eilers is born.
1947- Wayne Garrett is born.
1969- The Mets, in one of the worst trades in franchise history, deal outfielder Amos Otis to the Royals for third baseman Joe Foy. The 22 year-old flycatcher will go on to have an outstanding 14-year career with Kansas City and will become a member of the team's hall of fame, while Foy will play just one season in New York, hitting a meager .236 in 99 games.
1974- In a six-player deal, the Mets trade reliever Tug McGraw to the Phillies along with outfielders Don Hahn and Dave Schneck in exchange for outfielder Del Unser, pitcher Mac Scarce, and catcher John Stearns. The 'Ya Gotta Believe' closer will quickly become a fan-favorite in Philadelphia, helping the team in 1980 to win their first world championship in the 97-year history of the franchise.
