METS FANS SHARE THEIR MEMORIES OF THE SEPTEMBER 29, 1972 GAME:

This was Tom Seaver's 20th win of the season, which did not come easy. For eight innings, he and the Pirates' Nelson Briles allowed a combined total of five hits (all singles) in a good old-fashioned scoreless pitching duel. The Mets finally broke through in the ninth when Tommie Agee singled to drive home Wayne Garrett. Seaver then hurled a perfect bottom half to finish it off.

Seaver's dominance of the Bucs put an historical baseball moment on hold. Roberto Clemente was only one hit away from 3,000 for his career and came up empty in four times at bat. Clemente would reach that total the next day.

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.

We do appreciate anybody who takes the time to share their thoughts on our site, and we hate to remove anybody's postings. But if we didn't take steps to ensure that only on-topic messages were retained, The Ultimate Mets Database would become a confusing jumble of unrelated comments, and would thus be less enjoyable to visitors like you.

Thank you!
