*Seaver and the Mets combine to no-hit the Cardinals

The Cardinals are who he had his one no-hitter in real life against, though he was with the Reds then (1978). I am pretty sure the Cardinal lineup he faced in 1978 was a lot tougher on paper than the one your Met Seaver faced.... That one was just begging to be no hit....

Yeah, I'm using very high fatigue, so at times OOTP trots out some really depleted lineups. Carlton was on the mound for the Cardinals. Lefty kept the Mets off the board until the top of the 9th. Can't believe your Reds started the season by losing their first 8 games. Not even sure how that's possible with Bench, Perez and Rose in the lineup.

Do you ever play 1969, 70 or 71 and ask yourself how the Orioles didn't go 162-0 every year?

Well, no, not really.... But I do wonder how the Mets ever beat them. If the Reds had not traded them Frank Robinson, the Big Red Machine may have had a chance in '70.

Well I've always planned on starting a 1969 game with the Twins, when I retire, in addition to my on-going game I've played since v4(2002). Since I have a Steam version I decided to try a historic game to practice\learn all of the in and outs of setup before retirement. Also to see unis, stadiums from the mod forums. The screenshots of the stadiums don't do them justice, they are magnificent!

On to the point of the post... On opening day 1969 Tom Seaver no-hit the Expos. It would have been a perfect game except Bud Harrelson committed an error.

Boxscore and newspaper..

Oh, and just have to add I did see the Orioles play 2 games in'73 vs the Twins at The Met. Not a lot of change in the team from '69-'71. Palmer and Cuellar pitched. Still had the great lineup. I hated those guys

My very first trip to Tiger Stadium was for a game against the Twins, 1972.

Sorry,against that lineup it should not count as a no-hitter.
It is pathetic.
