R.I.P Tom Seaver

 


Perhaps this was a last reunion, the video above showing members of the 1969 New York Mets team reuniting including Tom Seaver.

Tom Seaver passed away at the age of 75. The pitcher had an amazing career.
1967 rookie of the year, 1969 World Champion, three Cy Young Awards,  a no-hitter and a 12 time all star.

A career defined by numbers 311 wins, 3,640 strike outs, a career ERA of  2.86.

The numbers and achievements combined for a Hall of Fame career.

His induction speech...


His career allowed him into broadcasting, to write and co-write books, and maintain a legacy.  He left the Mets with a pennant, he left Cooperstown with a bust, he leaves behind highlights, stats of a great career. He will be missed by fans, friends and family.
