Tom Seaver won't be down!

[69a100]

I've watched you pitch at Wrigley!!!! RIP Tom!!!!
The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced his death, noting that the causes were Lewy body dementia and covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The place of death was not disclosed. Mr. Seaver and his family announced in 2019 that he was withdrawing from public life because of advancing dementia.

What a bummer. Growing up in Queens, during the 70s the Mets really sucked. We would only go to Mets games when Tom Terrific was pitching cause we had a chance to win 2-1. He won 300 games pitching for a team that was terrible for years.
I still remember my heart being broken when he was traded to Cincinnati.

Tom Seaver was in California, with his family the last few years, and as mentioned above, had an advanced form of dementia, and the inevitable was bound to happen....

I am a Mets and White Sox fan -- so I got to enjoy
# 41 three times....
I was at Yankee Stadium on August 4th , 1985 right behind the White Sox dugout, for Tom's # 300 !!!!!
And all the numbers were 41 that day.... White Sox won 4 - 1 in the Bronx...
Tom Seaver pitched a complete game, gave up
4 hits and 1 run, struck out 4 and walked 1.....
R.I.P. Tom, and God bless you Nancy and family.....

In 1969 we actually had a tv in a 4th grade classroom with a World Series game on. It was that big of a deal. And games were not at night then. I dont remember seeing the moon landing back then in school.

That's because the Mets winning the World Series was a far rarer event than walking on the moon.

RIP Tom.
Advanced dementia. Terrible, why even mention C19.

 

[JimCoronette]

Even as a Phillies Phan, I always admired him.

Grew up in Queens. used to walk to Shea stadium to see him play. tickets were $1.30 Great memories. R.I.P.

Grew up a Braves fan, which meant the Mets were mortal enemies.
Still, as a budding pitcher myself, I recognized at an early age how good Mr. Seaver was....
and he sure beat the pants off my team more often than not.
That he also was such a positive influence to everyone around him only added to his stature.
RIP Tom and Godspeed...

He was active in the grape/winery business there. I saw a show about him last year, I think it was. It might have been ESPN 30 for 30 or something that featured him and told the story of his life. I was a fan when I was a kid in upstate NY in the '60s/'early 70s. R.I.P. Tom

Local hero. RIP Tommy

He was also a Marine Corp Veteran. Enlisted right out of High School and was stationed at 29 Palms MCAS CA. He then transferred in to the Reserves where he was serving when the Mets won the WS. A Great pitcher, and a great American. RIP Tom...Hand Salute...cr8crshr/Bill

I worked at Shea Stadium during the mid 70s, it was great! When he was traded to Cincinnati I became a Yankee fan
