Title: The great Tom Seaver has died
Post by: Rabbi Of Racing on September 02, 2020, 08:51:58 PM: The Franchise has taken the great mound in the sky.

Mets legend Tom Seaver died on Monday at the age of 75, passing in his sleep because of complications of dementia and Lyme disease, the Mets confirmed on Wednesday.

“We are heartbroken to share that our beloved husband and father has passed away,” wife Nancy Seaver and daughters Sarah and Anne told the Baseball Hall of Fame. “We send our love out to his fans, as we mourn his loss with you.”

Seaver, also known as “Tom Terrific,” won 311 games over a 20-year career, including 198 with the Mets from 1967-77. He was a five-time 20-game winner. His time with the Mets came to an end with a trade to the Red, widely known as “The Midnight Massacre.”

Seaver retired from public life in 2019 after his dementia diagnosis.

His glory was unquestionably w/ the Mets. He finally recorded his no-hitter, tho > w/ the Reds. Sadly, Seaver was stuck on some very bad Reds teams of the 80s
