When Tom Seaver pitched this gem early in
the 1970 season, the MLB record for
strikeouts in a game was 19, held by Steve
Carlton. The consecutive-batters strikeout
record was 8, held by the Braves’ Max
Surkont, LA’s Johnny Podres, Cincinnati’s
Jim Maloney, and Don Wilson of the Colt 45s.
Dave O’Brien, play-by announcer with the
Mets from 2003-5 (now with Boston), who
worked with Seaver in the booth, once asked
him teasingly why he didn’t go for 11.
Seaver replied, “because the game was over.”
