    That was a very nice catch. That kid can follow any ball anywhere. There was some spin on that.

    This was a weird series because the first 2 games were played in Pittsburg and the last three at Shea without a break in between. Yea, Seaver lost the opener. There was always a lot of talk back then about him not winning the big game. He won plenty of big ones. He won the last game of this series and that was just as big a game and the opener. At the hump of a pennant race all these games were huge. The next day Matlack was knocked out of the box after three. The Mets were losing 4-1 when they exploded for five runs in the 9th to give Tug McGraw the win. These were the games that the Mets HAD to win to stay in the race in '73 and they won em. In the midst of this series the "Dave Augustine Play" occurred, which I have always called "The Ball Off The Wall" play. I wrote a composition about this play in college and I wish I still had a copy of that. My English teacher gave me an A+ and read it to the class. It really captured the incredibility of the play.

    If we shared the place for awhile there has got to be pics of Card players around the spot, I would think.

It must have been Millers '65 card. I was making '65s last week and googling the set. I do think Mazz can be considered a member of the SS club. SS behind and to his left. To his right, the clubhouse and some kids. Mazz with the bird bomb. Show me a non Met who infiltrated that spot somehow. That be something.

    I believe that's Keiths all star card and the other is Bobby Ojeda's reg card.

    Then I stand corrected. As I've said here before, I'd have liked to see how things would ahve went had he stayed on.

    The biggest thing the Wilpons did wrong was shaft Doubleday. I liked that guy and he knew baseball. I imagine this vid has been posted here before...oh, maybe not. Just posted last week. A great slice of Mets here and the start of the Wilpon era. I haven't even finished watching this yet. I like the yearbooks. [youtube:zp8nuwju]JIY7laphVSk[/youtube:zp8nuwju]

    That's great stuff Edge. I'm gonna make a card for all of them using their corresponding Topps years. I never would have thought of that.
  19. Zvon
    Blah game (it would have been exciting if Young tried a bunt back in that spot), but good ending and some wacky baseball. That insane play by Murphy to throw to third and Flores with the push tag was worth the price of admission.

It was like that with the Fish all game. Gettin them om, pushing them along. But they couldn't plate a run. Baseball is so wacky. The first ground out by Lutz should have been two and we got a break there. The key was Muffys single on a pitchers pitch.

    Nice to see them jumpin around out there. Turner & Hawkins with the pies! Subguys takes a pie!
  22. Zvon
    yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaababy!
  23. Zvon
    unbelievable. Come on Mets. 2 out now for Travis.
  24. Zvon
    What a great piece of hitting by Danny. He hit the same pitch that Duda took for ball four. I thought that was a strike. Bases juiced, no out. This game is ours.
