Misterbluesky Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Many of the guys from that era had a "get together" when spring training started in PSL,even Kranepool made it,Seaver didn't. Sorry to hear this news.
Tierlifer Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Tom Seaver ranks in Mets franchise history: #1 in WAR, 78.9 #1 in ERA, 2.57 #1 in Wins, 198 #1 in Innings, 3045.2 #1 in Strikeouts, 2541 #1 in Shutout, 44 #1 in CG, 171 And still the Wilpons have no statue at Citi of this living legend who is the greatest Met of all time. Sad news indeed. 2
Augie Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Terribly sad news. So many families rocked by news like this every year. Ugh...

Sad news indeed. He's the only Met that ranks among MLB's all time greats. Had a number of 20 win seasons for .500 teams. All the best to Tom Terrific and his loved ones. . 2

You look at his numbers and then think...in today's baseball world,it's newsworthy if your starter pitches into the 7th inning. 1 hour ago, Tierlifer said: Tom Seaver ranks in Mets franchise history: #1 in WAR, 78.9 #1 in ERA, 2.57 #1 in Wins, 198 #1 in Innings, 3045.2 #1 in Strikeouts, 2541 #1 in Shutout, 44 #1 in CG, 171 And still the Wilpons have no statue at Citi of this living legend who is the greatest Met of all time.

Sad news indeed. Newsday's David Lennon was about 2 hours late, eh? Tom Seaver, the greatest Met of all time, deserves a statue at Citi Field https://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/david-lennon/tom-seaver-dementia-1.28217121
Gugny Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Such horrible news. Mets have something to play for. Win it for Seaver! 2
Another Fan Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Despite not being a Yankee fan their fans showed a tremendous amount of class when he got his 300th win at Yankee Stadium with the White Sox. Btw love those retro Sox uniforms
Nanker Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Sorry to hear that . It's a terrible affliction. That said, I remember when he retired and went into the booth to be a commentator. On one pitch Seaver said, and I quote, "Right down the ol' poop Shute!" There was deathly silence in the booth for over a minute after that. Hooray Tom Terrific. You were entertaining on the field and in the booth. 1
Gugny Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Seaver and Piazza "closing," Shea Stadium will go down as one of my favorite Seaver memories. 1
Seasons1992 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 There was a cover story about Tom in Wine Spectator a few years back, as he makes his own wine. He has Lyme disease, so he can't actually drink what he makes for health reasons. I would bet $1,000 the dementia stems from the disease. It hid in him for 20 years and just recently started showing signs of causing problems.
row_33 Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) His best recent move was announcing a re-interest in doing WPIX Mets games 20 years ago so they booted McCarver in a heartbeat. Edited March 8, 2019 by row_33

We used to refer to those pitches as "c*ck shots".
707BillsFan Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 Incredibly sad news. I had no idea he had a winery. I looked it up, it's a few miles from my house. Unfortunately, it's closed to the public. Probably smart.
