I became a Mets fan long after Tom Seaver's heyday. In my Mets experience, Tom was a mediocre announcer.
Of course, I've heard of this pitching brilliance. He is hailed as one of the greatest pitchers of all time. I wrote down a quote from Larry Bowa of the Phillies, but managed to lose it. I think it was, "He was like Greg Maddox, except in the upper 90's." Impressive.
The Mets should have never traded Seaver; he should have thrown the first no-hitter for the Mets. (No offense to Johan Santanna.)
It was sad that Tom Seaver couldn't celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 World Series win last year. But Mets fans (even newer ones) will never forget Tom Terrific, The Franchise. Here's why.
