For the third consecutive season, the Mets begin a campaign with a win.
What makes this one so special? It came on the road against the reigning World Series champ.
The Mets served Philly an enticing plate of Bob Veale, who simply shoved, earning the complete-game victory. He worked around eight hits and four walks but managed to accomplish the job. And, his bat proved just as significant as his arm, generating two hits and three RBIs.
