Tom Seaver, the Greatest N.Y. Met player, dead at 75

[SfanGoch]

This is a really sad day for Mets and baseball fans everywhere. Tom Terrific truly was "The Franchise".

Mets and the baseball world mourn the death of Tom Seaver

I remember him pitching the '69 Series against the Orioles, still followed the Mets after I moved south from Yankeeland.

I remember him playing when I was a kid. Sad he wasn’t very old...

The Cincinnati Reds were letter the Big Red Machine slowly slip away after back to back World series titles when they traded for Tom the following year.  They didn't give up that much for a pitcher of his quality.

The local news was replaying his post game interview of his no hitter.  Gotta love his unemotional statement of going out to go get another one.  A major accomplishment, but remained humble (in comparison to today's athletes) and not on a pedestal "everyone stop and look at me"

RIP #41
