I happened to be at the game where Tom Seaver had 10 strikeouts to end the game against San Diego. I was only 7 years old and my parents lived in Suffolk but I spent a lot of time at my grandparents house in Queens and my grandfather took me to this great game. What I remember most was that it was fairly cold at Shea Stadium that day and I couldn't wait for the game to end. Seaver was my favorite player growing up and the kids of my age group were all Mets fans in Suffolk County.
