This is the only Live MLB game I ever saw. I was 11 at the time and it seemed to take forever. Somehow I knew then that I would never really be a fan of the game.

Our 4th grade class attended this game as a class trip. It was a thrill to see such stars as Stargell and Clemente, and of course Seaver and all the Mets. I still remember the sleeveless uniforms - I think this was the first live game I ever saw. The game did take forever, and I couldn't wait until I got home to tell my dad, a big Mets fan, all about it. I thought I would embellish the story and told everyone that it went 21 innings. How would they know - they weren't there, were they? My dad was gracious enough to not give me too hard a time when he read the paper the next day and saw that it was only 17 innings. Great memories.

The Mets got a run in the seventeenth inning for a win over the Pirates in this game. Tom Seaver pitched the first eleven innings before reliever Cal Koonce hooked up with Pittsburgh's Bob Moose in a shutout duel of their own from the 12th to the 16th. Ron Taylor hurled a scoreless top of the 17th and became the winning pitcher when ex-Met Chuck Hiller made an error on Ken Boswell's single in the bottom half that allowed Tommie Agee to come home. The real tragic thing for the Bucs is that Hiller had just entered the game with reliever Elroy Face in a double switch.

The Mets suck! They need to trade Smith and get somebody like Jones.
This comment is off-topic and will be removed. It has nothing to do with any specific game. But here's an acceptable alternative:

Example Two
The Mets suck! Smith made three errors in this game, and hit into a double play, and the Mets blew a 5-0 lead. They need to get rid of Smith and get somebody like Jones.
See the difference? Here you're getting the same point across, but it's in the proper context. We wouldn't consider this message to be off-topic, and we would let it remain.
