barrysloateOkay- this is not a question but a memory I have of a bizarre day in baseball history. Let's see if anyone else remembers it.
In July, 1969, the Mets were hosting the Astros in a doubleheader. Seaver pitched the first game and left after 8 innings (I think) trailing 5-3. In the top of the 9th the Astros scored 11 runs and won 16-3. Seaver took the loss and his record dropped to 15-7.
In the second game of the doubleheader the Astros scored 10 runs in the 4th inning and won that game 11-5. It was one of the very few times in baseball history that a team had two innings of 10 or more runs on the same day.
But it would probably be the last bad day the Mets would have in 1969. Seaver would not lose again until Game 1 of the World Series, and the Mets went on one of the greatest two-month tears in history.
Rich, do you remember that doubleheader?
