Looking at the box score of this game reminded me that I watched it on television. t was the first time I ever saw a pitcher hit a home run. The Reds' Wayne Granger knocked one out of the park in the eighth inning and it got my attention. I had never seen a homer by a pitcher before.

I checked Granger's batting statistics on Retrosheet and found that this was not just his only home run, but also the only RBI and run scored of his major league career. It was also Granger's only hit of the '71 season.

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.
