I was AT THE game where Benny HR'd in his 1st MLB at bat! August '74 if memory serves me. (I'll guess 8/8?) He was just recalled form Tidewater and started in LF batted #6. MEts had tried Cleon Jones in CF and Benny at LF in spring training but, Cleaon really didn't have the range/arm and Benny didn't hit as well as METS hoped and Schneck/HAhn got the CF job instead...Benny hit it into the LF lodge seats (I was a field level along 3B side somewhere), a nice shot, after that, it was downhill for BA! '74 METS were the '73 team w/ too much overconfidence, a bad year from Seaver too boot. Staub got fat, Garrett was overrated, no real CF'er, etc., and the bullpen wasn't up to the task! It was a year (for a 14 yo diehard BB fan then) for a forgetful season in METS history....At this point of my life I have the money, time and no nagging from preventing me just taking the "sweet". After all I played '68 and came close, THAT team was MUCH better than the record showed though I don't think a 90 win team. (played w/o splits and Blackbelt didn't have it done when I started it). As much as Hodges is revered and honored, his team from '69 IMHO was the only overperformer of his mgt, though they OVERperformed to the max!
