Looked, didn't see this topic. Complications of dementia and lime disease.

This one hurts. RIP Tom Terrific.

This should be merged with the “LOL at the Mets” thread, right?

 

[Debbie Does]

Damn, those were the Mets I grew up with outside of NYC

Only a couple of years older than me.

RIP, Tom.

 

[Boglodyte]

Damn, he was one of the few Met's I would cheer for

RIP

 

[Mistaken4193]

Eh....fuck the Mets

3 Cy Youngs

NL MVP

Strikeout leader 5 times

Final game pitched was with the Red Sox in 1986....................34 years ago at age 41.

Rest in peace.

RIP Tom Terrific.


Hope all of his loved ones got to say goodbye long ago. Cuz his passing was but a formality.

RIP. I'm a Mets fan but I remember him more for his announcing with Rizzuto.

Time just goes too fast...

One of the best pitchers of his era. A genuine hall of famer. As one who has worked with demented people, I will say that they are a real challenge. I'm sure his disease was not easy on anyone.
Rest in peace, Sir.

One of the all time greats.

Sad loss but he had been declining for years.

I am fortunate enough to have met him and, yes, I have an autographed Tom Seaver Hall of Fame commemorative baseball he was giving out.

Wow. R.I.P. One of the greatest

Sad.

COVID as well.

Was Seaver the biggest snub from the All-Century team?

Here are the pitchers that got in:
Sandy Koufax
Nolan Ryan
Cy Young
Roger Clemens
Bob Gibson
Walter Johnson
Warren Spahn
Lefty Grove
Christy Mathewson

I would have him at least over Koufax, Ryan, and Gibson

Easily over Ryan......
