Frayed Knot's Summary:

Saturday, October 11 - World Series Game 1 - Memorial Stadium: Mets 1 - Orioles 4 -- Tom Seaver vs Mike Cuellar

Agee - CF
Harrelson - SS
Jones - LF
Clendenon - 1B
Swoboda - RF
Charles - 3B
Grote - C
Weis - 2B
Seaver - P


Don Buford - LF
Paul Blair - CF
Frank Robinson - RF
Boog Powell - 1B
Brooks Robinson - 3B
Elrod Hendricks - C
Davey Johnson - 2B
Mark Belanger - SS
Mike Cuellar - P



- Mets don�t score in the top of the first, and then when Don Buford hits the 2nd pitch thrown by a Met in the World Series over the RF fence it�s 1-0 Orioles
- In the 4th Seaver gets the first two outs but then, while facing the lower part of the lineup, allows a Single (Hendricks), Walk (Johnson), RBI-Single (Belanger), RBI-Single (Cuellar), RBI-Double (Buford) and the Os lead 4-zip
- Cardwell relieves Seaver for the 6th. In the 7th the Mets load the bases with one out on a Clendenon single, Swoboda walk, and Grote single. Al Weis gts one in with a Sac Fly, but pinch-hitter Gaspar grounds out to end the threat.
- Mets get one runner on in the 8th and two in the 9th but Cuellar gets Shamsky on a come-backer to complete his 6-hit victory.

I don't know how relevant it is but that Gaspar groundout came on a heckuva barehanded pickup by Brooks Robinson.
