June 30, 2000, Braves at Mets: First Braves game at Shea after John Rocker's notorious racist and homophobic comments about the 7 Train. Vendors were selling t-shirts depicting Rocker's face with a subway car coming out of his mouth and they had to cover the visitor's bullpen with a net to protect it.
Mets, down 8-1, score 10 runs in the bottom of the 8th, 9 of those runs with 2 outs, capped by a 3-run HR by Piazza.
