In what I tend to think of as the first important series in the history of the club (and certainly the first important one with me in attendance)

Down 3-1 in the bottom of the 9th with starters Ferguson Jenkins and Jerry Koosman still both in the game: Boswell (PH'ing for Kooz) doubled,

Agee fouled out, Clendenon (hitting for Bobby Pfeil) doubled, and then Cleon doubled to tie it. After an IW to Shamsky and a ground out by Garrett

it was left to Steady Eddie

Some may recall that Seaver had a pretty good game the following night.

They lost the third game of the set but the message had been sent, they were a real team for the first time in their history.







btw, complete games in that series for Jenkins, Kooz, Seaver obviously, and Bill Hands in game 3. Game times: 2:09, 2:06, 2:23

In the Seaver game, Ken Holtzman started to get knocked around in the 2nd inning and was pulled with just one out [3 R, 4 Hits]

in favor of submarine reliever Ted Abernathy ... who went on the finish the game!! [6.1, 1 R, 4 Hits]

Fans wearing suits and ties. I don' t think we'll be seeing that ever again.

Later
