thanks for posting this tape. I was at that game with my grandfather and I still have the scorecard I kept (somewhere). I was also at the game Seaver won in the 69 World Series, game 4, and I was at the very last game he ever pitched as a Met, at the end of the 83 season.
We were very excited that day, convinced we'd seen the first performance of a guy who would be our Ace for years to come. Of course, we'd thought the same thing about Rob Gardner a few years earlier.
Wow that's great. I would love to see a pic of that scorecard if you can ever find it. I recently did a three part book review on the 69 Mets. If interested you can check out all three parts: click here
