I didn’t realize Rick Camp recently passed away. Mets fans of a certain age will never forget him.
Camp entered in relief the top of the 17th during which Mets manager Davey Johnson and rightfielder Darryl Strawberry were ejected for arguing balls and strikes (said home plate umpire Terry Tata after the game “there aren’t any bad calls at 3 a.m.”). In the 18th, a leadoff single by Johnson, Camp’s error on a subsequent bunt by Danny Heep and a Lenny Dykstra sac fly gave New York the lead, again.
