Pablo Sandoval

SEPTEMBER 30, 1971 — In what was his final start of the 1971 season, Tom Seaver put the finishing touches on a dominant campaign. The right-hander fired a complete game, allowing just one run and striking out 13 batters to lead the Mets to a 6-1 victory and secure his 20th winning decision. The performance lowered the ace's ERA to a sparkling 1.76 and gave him a remarkable 289 strikeouts.
