RIP, Tom Seaver

I never really followed baseball, but his name is one that I remember.
RIP Mr. Met:
-
A boyhood hero.
I’ll never in my life forget watching Seaver’s near perfect game on July 9, 1969.
I was watching on a portable b/w TV set while my mom was serving me dinner, I was 11 years old. I watched that game, hanging on every pitch. I thought I was actually going to see a prefect game live on TV. (WOR TV channel 9. That was the Mets station, unIike WPIX channel 11 that broadcast the Yankees whom every true New Yorker loathed. )
Man I was such a baseball nerd kid.
