This date in Mets history 4 double plays

I’m dating myself but that’s ok if I say I remember listening to Bob Murphy’s call of this game on the radio in July 1975.

It was a game against the Astros where Felix Milan had 4 singles and was erased each time by a double play by a future Mets Manager named Joe Torre. Joe was at the end of his amazing career and couldn’t run at all. He whacked the ball 4 times on the ground after Felix had a single and was erased.

They interviewed Felix after the game and you can tell he was slightly frustrated. Good job Mr Torre! The Mets lost the game 6-2
