Let's continue with the Paul Blair trivia vs. a team I'm more familiar with - the NY Mets..

In the 1969 World Series, Paul Blair broke up a no-hitter in the 7th inning of one the Met victories - who was the NY Mets pitcher?

Also, in another game, Paul Blair was robbed of an extra-base hit by a NY Mets outfielder in arguably one of the best catches of all-time - who was the NY Mets outfielder?

Again, "no-googling" please....

And the NY Mets pitcher was....

◾23 potential Mets no-hitters were broken up in the seventh
(Plus one in the ’69 World Series, when Jerry Koosman lost his no-no in the 7th on a Paul Blair single)
