Yesterday, I posted a little homage to Tom Seaver being traded away on June 15, 1977. And if you were alive, you probably remember what happened on June 16, 1978.
If you don’t remember, here’s the painful reminder…
Tom Seaver: W 4-0, 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 3 K (15 GB, 9 FB)
That’s right. Seaver threw his first career no-hitter as a member of the Cincinnati Reds exactly one year and one day after being traded away by the New York Mets. The Reds bested the St. Louis Cardinals that day.
Ironically, Keith Hernandez (who the Mets acquired on June 15, 1983) was playing first base for the Cardinals that day. He went 0-2 with a walk.
I’m sure we’ll hear about it during tonight broadcast.
