On this date in 1969, Tom Seaver had a perfect game going for the Mets with one out in the ninth inning. That is, until Jimmy Qualls stepped to the plate for the Cubs and ripped a line drive single to left field. That was perhaps the beginning of what most Mets fans feel is a "curse" against the Mets to never throw a no hitter or perfect game. I personally would like to believe that curses don't exist, but when they've come close so many times only to be denied, it's hard believe there's not something working against them.
