Happy Birthday, Tom Seaver

Hall of Fame Pitcher Tom Seaver turns 68 years old today.


This picture is how I always think of Tom Seaver.  A fantastic competitor and perhaps the best pitcher of his generation.

  • 311-205 career W-L record
  • 2.86 career ERA
  • Five time twenty game winner
  • 231 complete games
  • 61 shut outs
  • 3,640 strike outs
  • Five time league leader in strike outs
He played for the Mets at a time when they were among the Pirates' most bitter rivals, so I never much rooted for Tom Seaver, but in looking back, I'm honored to say that I saw him pitch.

Happy Birthday!
