Baseball great Tom Seaver dies

Posted on September 3, 2020September 3, 2020 by Santiago Leon
Tom Seaver died at the age of 75.

The man called “Tom Terrific” and “The Franchise” has died at age 75. He had battled dementia for several years.

Seaver was selected by the Mets in a special draft in 1966 after his contract with the Braves was nullified by Major League Baseball. He spent just one year in the minors and won the 1967 National League Rookie of the Year with a 16-13 record and 2.76 ERA for the last-place Mets.

Seaver won the Cy Young three times, all with the Mets. He remains the franchise leader in most career categories, including 198 victories, 2,541 strikeouts.

Seaver was the first pitcher in major league history with eight consecutive seasons of at least 200 strikeouts. He also was a 20-game winner in 1969, ’71, ’72, 75, and ’77.

Seaver finished his Hall of Fame career with a 311-205 record, a 2.86 ERA, 3,640 strikeouts, 61 shutouts and 231 complete games.

Tonight baseball fans and all New Yorkers mourn in unison.

Tom Seaver was not only a baseball player — he was a Miracle Met who brought skill and honor to the game.

The family of New York extends our deepest sympathy to his family and fans.
