Notes & reviews

missing play in NYN198010010 fielding credit invented
Mets manager Torre ejected by 2B umpire Froemming for arguing runner from 1st had been forced at 2nd but umpire ruled SS missed base; 1bman thought it was a double play and rolled ball to mound; SS ran in, picked up ball and had runner Berra in rundown but threw wildly into center field allowing run to score
