A Mets Famous First

You never know when a picture snapped during a game is going to take on added significance. That's exactly what happened with this image from the June 8th Subway Series game between the Mets and Yankees.
Michael Conforto is batting, with Todd Frazier on deck, just as they did in the bottom of the 9th of Thursday's first game between the Mets and Marlins.
The Boys of Flushing were trailing 3-2, with two outs and no one on. Then Conforto crushed a Kyle Barraclough pitch, sending it to the second deck in right field to tie the game. Moments later, Frazier pulled one over the left field fence.
Back to back home runs that turned a one-run deficit to a one-run walk-off victory. We soon learned that in their 57 year history, the Mets had never previously won a game that way --with consecutive home runs in the 9th.
