Sunday May 1, 1977
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Lenny Randle, obtained from the Rangers, who got rid of the second baseman because of his attack on manager Frank Lucchesi, made an outstanding debut as a starter with the Mets in an 8-2 victory over the Padres. Randle tripled in his first time at bat in the N. L. and collected two other hits in five trips and also stole home. [The Sporting News]
