Just for context, this was Peterson's 98th career start as a Met, his second CG and his first shutout. Tom Seaver holds the club record for complete game shutouts in a career, having done it 44 times. Only seven other Mets (Kooz, Matlack, Gooden, Cone, Darling and Al Jackson) ever threw even ten of them as a Met. In his first three seasons, to make a more rough comparison to Peterson in terms of number of games started, Seaver started 104 games, completing 50 (!) of them, with 12 shutouts.
