Dude deserves his own thread.
One of the greatest pitchers of all time and a class act.
He should have been a Yankee and he could have spent his whole career in New York instead of the cheap Mets bungling it twice.
I saw him pitch live once, against the Cardinals at Mets Old Timers day.
The real game, not the old timers game.
He took a line drive off the shin from some scrub named Luis Melendez and had to leave the game.
Most of my memories of him were working the Pix games with the Scooter. They were hilarious together with Seaver always reminding him how he ruined Phil Rizzuto Day by winning his 300th game.
But Seaver was a very knowledgeable announcer and I remember there was talk of him becoming the Yankees GM.
