Brady's request had drawn the ire of New York Mets fans, as Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver had long been referred to as "Tom Terrific." Seaver, now 74, won a World Series with the Mets in 1969 and was named the National League Cy Young Award winner three times over his 20-year career.

"It's unfortunate. I was actually trying to do something because I didn't like the nickname and I wanted to make sure no one used it, because some people wanted to use it," Brady said. "I was trying to keep people from using it, and then it got spun around to something different than what it is. Good lesson learned, and I'll try to do things a little different in the future."

Asked a follow-up question on the topic, Brady said, "I didn't want people associating me with that. ... I don't like the nickname. I don't like when people give me many nice compliments -- certainly that. It wasn't something I was trying to do out of any disrespect or ill manner or anything like that."

Luckily now that Seaver has Alzheimer's his only response was "is it my turn to pitch today?"
