Tom Seaver
Baseball lost an all time great.
The Amazing Mets from 1969, a worst to first story that had an amazing young pitching staff that became legends.
Lost to covid 19 with underlying issues.
He has rounded third and he is headed home.
RIP

What a pitcher. Class act across the board.
He held the MBL HOF highest first ballot vote percentage from 1992 til 2016.

I would add JR Richards of the Astros to the list. That said, his Carrer was cut way too short....would loved to have seen him for years in the league .....and where he might have landed in the record books.frazzdaddy said:

More recent, Randy Johnson comes to mind. Bottom of the 9th one night at Camden Yards, the crowd had thinned out and I was able to move down right behind the O's dugout. RJ struck out the side, including Cal on 3 pitches for the final out. Awesome.Maryland, 1 LBGE

Utterly amazing - the baseball stats that are readily available. I had forgotten it was quite a pitching duel - complete games by Johnson and Ben McDonald. I was wrong on one point - it took 4 pitches to strikeout Cal. June 5, 1995.

SWMBO was in the stands the night Cal sat out. She was getting a beer when they announced the lineup. She said the place went nuts.Xl bge ,LG bge, two 4' crusher cone fire pits. Weber Genisis gasser and

Pretty cool! I wasn't there the night he tied, but my wife and I were there the next night when he became the record holder.frazzdaddy said:SWMBO was in the stands the night Cal sat out. She was getting a beer when they announced the lineup. She said the place went nuts.Maryland, 1 LBGE -
You think he’s got the velocity and technical skill comparable to today’s pitchers?Signal Mountain, TN

Must have been 25 or 30 years ago,I took my youngest son to a card show that he was signing at. My son asked if he would sign a ball Tom "Terrific" Seaver and he did. Great guy!

Everyone else seems to think otherwise...CBS, NPR, CNN, NY Times, USA Today, NY Daily News and NBC for example. They all say..."Seaver died Monday in his sleep of complications of Lewy body dementia and Covid-19, the National Baseball Hall of Fame said."

@TN_Egger - I have thought about your question for a bit. Regarding velocity, there are a few who can get into the high 90's and low 100's but there are very few who can do that with any sustained control.TN_Egger said:You think he’s got the velocity and technical skill comparable to today’s pitchers?
Regarding technical skill, he would have today's hitters for lunch. Today there are only two criteria, home run or strikeout. Skilled control pitchers would axle wrap these fence or nothing hitters all game long. The game has evolved but pure skill and cunning are hallmarks. Just an opinion...

Thats right, I forgot. anyone who dies these days dies from covid, regardless of other diseases, age or illness. Similar to the kid in Florida who was killed in a motorcycle crash, but it was assumed that Corona caused the crash. My mistake

Lou Brock died today too. Sad day for baseball.
I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

How would you have liked going into a 3 game series, struggling to get above .250, against the Mets after the all star break in 1969, knowing the first night was Koosman, the second night was Saint Nolan Ryan, and your third night was Tom Terrific, and then knowing Tug McGraw was waiting in the bull pen?lousubcap said:

Things like that make you question career choices.
Honestly, I would have loved to had been able to say I did that. Different time.
