Mets flashback April 20th, 1967 Tom Seaver earns first victory against the Cubs!

Ok this is slightly ironic if you ask me. On this date Mets HOF pitcher Tom Seaver won his first game of his career against the Cubs. Get this, the score was 6-1.

He did have a start previously that he had a no decision against the Pirates earlier in ’67 season.

Seaver went 7 + innings against the Cubs at Shea in front of less then 6,000 people.

Ike gets his first rbi and hit of his career against the Cubs on the 19th in a 6-1 victory and 43 years before Mets great Tom Seaver win his first on the 20th against the same team and same score. Now of course I am not comparing the two players but it has to mean something!

Noting like a little acid flashback to begin your afternoon!
