May 14th, 1972
On this day in 1972, after twenty-one seasons with the Giants, 41 year-old Willie Mays makes a dramatic return to New York in his debut with the Mets when he hits a game-winning home run off Don Carrithers to defeat his former team, 5-4. The 'Say Hey Kid's' 647th career homer in the fifth breaks a 4-4 deadlock.
