1970
Tom Seaver strikes out 19 Padres‚ including the last 10 in succession in winning 2-1 for the Mets. Mike Corkin takes the loss. In this century‚ no one has ever struck out 10 in a row‚ a ML record. Counting the ten whiffs yesterday‚ the Pads have struck out 29 times in two games‚ a NL record that will be topped on June 14/15‚ 1998 when the Astros miss 32 times in two days. Jerry Grote adds one foul fly catch to his 19 putouts via K's.
How good was Tom Seaver? That was how good Tom Seaver was.
1914
At age 19‚ Babe Ruth's first professional game (as a pitcher) is a 6-hit‚ 6-0 win for Baltimore (International League) over Buffalo. The 2nd batter he faces is Joe McCarthy‚ the manager he will play for 17 years later with New York. Ruth is 2-for-4. Just 200 fans are on hand.
