RIP, Tom Seaver

[George K]

I never really followed baseball, but his name is one that I remember.

RIP Mr. Met:

Not to mention six seasons in Cincinnati. 20 years as an MLB pitcher. That's quite amazing.

Man, I'm getting old...

And Chicago and Boston

RIP Mr. Seaver

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.
