Inside the Park Grand Slam for Omir!

Well that was fun.

Jason "I wanted to be a Met" Marquis walked the bases loaded. Alex Cora hit a single to drive in a run, and then Omir Santos stepped to the plate.

Omir lined one into leftfield, and after the ball bounced around it rolled under the fence. The ball was clearly playable, but the Nats leftfielder, Tavares, decided to raise his hand and ask for the ground rule double.

His request fell on deaf ears, and Omir circled the bases for an inside the park Grand Slam.

Alpha-Omega: A First

Until someone tells me otherwise, I am saying that the Mets led off and ended the game in a way that has never occurred before, and will probably never happen again.

They led off the game with an inside-the-park homerun off the bat of Angel Pagan, and closed by falling victim to a triple play.

Now we know that today's game had the first unassisted triple play to end a game, but I'd also wager that we've never had a game start with an inside-the-park HR and end on a triple play.

Wackiest game ever!

Anyone that can prove to me that this has occurred before in a major league game wins a Mets related prize (it's a good one!).
