Monday morning calendar trivia.

This one might take you guys more than a minute:

On April 15, 1968, the Mets lost to Houston, at the Astrodome, 1-0 in 24 innings. Which player made the error that allowed the Astros to push that run across?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Just a guess here: Ken Boswell?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Good guess, but not Boswell!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I looked it up. Nope, it's not Ken Boswell, although he did play the whole game and went 1 for 10.

[seawolf17]

1968, eh? I'll guess a pitcher. Ron Taylor.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hard to imagine a post-war pitcher in a game long enough to go 1-10.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Agee. Just a guess.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wow, all incorrect so far. A rare calendar question that poses a problems for you guys.

Time for a hit: An infielder.

[seawolf17]

The error-maker didn't go 1 for 10, Boswell did. Taylor relieved in the 24th inning and threw an attempted sac bunt into right field, allowing the winning run to score.

[seawolf17]

Okay, then, Ed Charles.

Keep going!

Does this mean BUD Harrelson?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yes.

[seawolf17]

Or perhaps Al "Bud" Weis-er?

There's your winner!

Hard to imagine a 0-0 game going 24 innings. Ah, those pre-Mota/Schoenweis bullpens.
