July 21st 1975 I was listening to good ole Bob Murphy on the radio as the Mets played the Astros . Felix Milan was batting 2nd and Mets 3rd baseman was batting 3rd. Well Milan had 4 hits that night in the Mets 6-2 loss. While Joe Torre cleared Milan of the base paths all 4 times he was up by hitting into 4 double plays . 2 times Joe grounded to the shortstop , once to 2nd base and one a come backer to the pitcher Ken Forsch.
In an interview with Milan during a broadcast earlier this year he remembers Torre blaming him for the 4 double plays by not getting a double on a couple of those singles.
Check out the line score over at baseball reference http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN197507210.shtml
Can you believe the time of the game was 1 hour and 59 minutes . Even with 8 runs scored and 23 hits between the 2 teams
