1984 – Philadelphia’s Juan Samuel breaks Tim Raines’s record for steals by a rookie with his 72nd in a 7 – 1 loss to the Mets. Raines had set the record of 71 in the strike-shortened 1981 season. The second-place Mets are the first team to finish above .500 and score fewer runs than their opponents in a full season since the 1932 Pirates.
