Jim iirc. Of all of the Cubs stars that could have broken up Tom’s Perfecto Bid, it had to be him!
I remember going to Red Sox game in August of that year with the Cub Scouts, on a bus, and when the subject of who the good teams were, I said “keep an eye on the Mets”. I practically got laughed off the bus.

Can’t remember the name, but the batter before Qualls had tried to get on with a bunt. He was roundly booed for that.
The upper deck of Shea was bouncing that night and despite the chants for him to take one, Seaver did not reappear from the dugout for a curtain call. That just wasn’t done in those days.
