RIP, The Franchise

Off my newsfeed:

"Tom Seaver, the greatest of all Mets who dropped out of public life in March of 2019 after being diagnosed with dementia died early Monday. Accoring to family sources, Seaver, 75, died peacefully at his home in Calistoga, Calif., from complications from Lyme disease and dementia."

I saw Seaver pitch at Shea many times but in those days I was more of a Koosman fan. Seaver was as tough on the mound as they came. RIP

Seaver, Koosman, and Ryan were an all star staff. Although Ryan was better after he left.

those were the great days for starting pitchers. when they went on the mound, there was no such thing as pitch counts. guys like Seaver, Catfish Hunter, Louis Tiant were all bears. when they pitched they put on a show.
