Time to take a 15 year trip back in time. Jesse Chan-Norris was cleaning his apartment when he found a ticket stub for a game between the Mets and the Cardinals from September 22, 1991. The Mets lost the game 2-1 in front of a crowd of 21,113. The loss brought their record to 72-77. The craziest thing about the ticket is the price - $14! A similar ticket now would cost more four times the amount.
Mets starters for the game that day included: Howard Johnson, Mackey Sasser, Gregg Jefferies, Kevin Elster, and Todd Hundley. The starting pitcher for the Mets was Anthony Young - the same Anthony Young who would later go on to lose 27 consecutive games with the Mets. The 1991 Mets finished the season 77-84 and 5th in the NL East. The team's payroll was a paltry $32,590,002.
The 2006 version of the Mets play the Cardinals at Shea from August 22nd-24th in a possible playoff matchup.
