Tommy Terrific Seaver dead at 75, from dementia/covid.
I remember hearing about the dementia. A great pitcher in his day, fucking dominant.

I've always loved this story about Seaver:
"In 1967, on his way to being the first Mets player to win Rookie of the Year, Seaver was chosen for the All-Star Game. At just 23 years old, the timid Seaver approached Hank Aaron, seeking his autograph. Seaver introduced himself to the slugger. Aaron responded, 'Kid, I already know who you are and before your career is over, I guarantee everyone in this stadium will, too.' Years later, after his retirement, Hammerin’ Hank would call Seaver, 'The toughest pitcher I ever faced.'"
Hall of Famer manager Sparky Anderson once said, “My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and then sitting down and watching him work.”

And the Mets, always being the Mets, traded The Franchise to the Reds out of spite.

It's astounding that one NY team represents excellence in baseball and one team assclownery. Both teams playing in the biggest market and cash to burn, yet the historical level of competence is pretty wide.revbob wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 11:36amYeah the Mets traded away some great talent.

Yeah, so is the way of NY sports the past 50 years.

Not really. Knicks last made the finals like 20 years ago. I don't think the Nets ever have.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 1:29pmAre either of the basketball teams any good?revbob wrote: ↑03 Sep 2020, 12:31pmYeah, so is the way of NY sports the past 50 years.
