We remember Tom Seaver, one of the best pitchers ever. He was born in 1944 and died in 2020.
The numbers tell you the story: 311 wins, a 2.86 ERA & 3,640 Ks. His best year was probably 1969 when the Mets won the World Series: 25-7, a 2.21 ERA and the Cy Young.
By the way, did I tell you that he threw 231 complete games, twenty-seven 3-hitters, ten 2-hitters, five 1-hitters and a no hitter? Wonder why they used to call him "Tom Terrific"?
