"Who can forget those wild September games against the Cubs? On September 8, Agee gets knocked down at the plate by Cub pitcher Billy Hands and next inning Ron Santo takes one on the wrist while batting against Koosman. Agee smacks a homer, a black cat runs across the field in front of the Cubs dugout, and catcher Randy Hundley is hopping mad at home plate after missing a tag play. In all, Koosman strikes out 13 on the way to a big Mets win. Next night, Fergie Jenkins pitches for the Cubs. Shamsky is caught in a rundown but escapes when the Cubs mess up the play. In this game, Clendenon and Shamsky hit homers to beat Chicago again. When the Cubs leave New York, their lead is down to only a half game over the on-rushing Mets. As seen at the beginning of the tape, the next night the Mets beat the Expos in a doubleheader while the Cubs lose again and the Mets are now in first place to stay!"
