This episode appeared in season three of Seinfeld. In the episode Jerry and George meet Keith Hernandez and Jerry and
Keith become friends. Jerry soon learns that Kramer and Newman despise Hernandez because on an incident that happened after
a Mets game in 1987. In the clip below, the incident is recounted in detail.
In the episode, the game in question happened on June 14h 1987 with the Mets supposedly losing to the Phillies on an
error by Hernandez at Shea. In reality, according to Baseball-reference.com*, the Mets were in Pittsburgh beating the Pirates
7-3. Although Hernandez would have 10 errors that season (the most he made in any season as a Met) he did not commit
one in that game. Hernandez did commit two errors five days earlier on June 9th in Chicago in a game the Cubs won 6-5.
Roger McDowell also appears in the episode. According to Keith Hernandez, in an interview that appears on the DVD, Darryl
Strawberry was originally supposed to be in the episode.
The episode was written by Larry David and Larry Levin and directed by Tom Cherones.
