| 1983 | Mets' outfielder Darryl Strawberry breaks Los Angeles' four-year stronghold on the Rookie of the Year Award when he becomes the first non-Dodger to win the honor since 1978. The previous winners were Rick Sutcliffe, Steve Howe, Fernando Valenzuela, and Steve Sax. |
| 2007 | The Angels and Twins free-agent Torii Hunter agree to a five-year deal reportedly worth $90 million. The acquisition of the 32-year-old Gold Glove center fielder is a surprise because the Halos already have a trio of outstanding outfielders, including Gary Matthews, Jr., Garret Anderson, and Vladimir Guerrero. |
| 2010 | The Mets replace former manager Jerry Manuel, fired a day after the season ended, with Terry Collins, eleven years after he resigned from his last managerial position, having piloted the Astros (1994-96) and Angels (1997-99). The 61-year-old new skipper, known for alienating some of his players due to his old-school approach, compiled a 444-434 won-loss record, finishing second in five of his six years in the dugout. |
