Highlights for the day include one-and-done Rufus Meadows, a grand slam from a very young Vada Pinson, a career milestone for Tom Seaver, and a uniform controversy for Rob Dibble.
Jack McKeon didn’t like that Dibble cut his uniform sleeve and complained to the umpires. The umps agreed, and Dibble changed into Stan Williams‘ #35 for the rest of the game, shutting out McKeon’s Padres for 2 1/3 innings. I couldn’t find a picture of Dibs wearing #35, but this photo does show how he altered his uniform.
