Choose The Lost Classic, Part 2

As you may have noticed, I have been keeping a more diligent schedule of Lost Classic games here of late. Following the success of the poll I posted in March, I've decided to put the voting in your hands once again. There are tons of Lost Classics out there, so I've picked some of my favorites and I'll let you decide which ones I should write about. SNY should take note, rather than re-playing the same games over and over again. These are games that might not have made a huge difference, but they deserve recognition nonetheless. Last time out, we covered 1997, 1998 and 2004. This time around, let's try 1999, 2001 and 2006.

1999:

1) May 20, 1999 - Mets 11, Brewers 10, Mets 10, Brewers 1. Robin Ventura hits Grand Slams in both games of a Doubleheader.

2) July 24, 1999 - Mets 2, Cubs 1. Octavio Dotel shuts down the Cubs.

3) August 22, 1999 (Game 1) - Mets 8, Cardinals 7. Mets rally from a 6-1 deficit to win.

4) August 23, 1999 - Mets 3, Astros 2. Matt Franco's parachute single in the bottom of the 9th is the Game winner.
