      Won 20 plus games 4X for a no hitting Mets team between 1967-1977. Won 19 in 1973. Had he pitched for a hitting team at least 50 more career wins.

      Seaver was 1 of 5 pitchers to win Rookie of the Year, Cy Young AND the World Series.
      The other 4 are Don Newcombe, Fernando Valenzuela, Dwight Gooden and Justin Verlander.

    Was not a Mets fan, or even a Reds fan, am a Dodgers fan, but i started collecting baseball cards as a little Kid in 1976, he was one of the players where I tried collecting all of his Cards. Nolan Ryan was great, but to me the argument was Seaver or Carlton as the best pitcher of that ERA, I sided with Seaver. Tremendous pitcher and total class act, RIP

    This Yankees fan remembers. I watched on tv Seaver getting his 300th win on Phil Rizzuto Day at Yankee Stadium on August 4, 1985. Rod Carew got his 3,000th that same day in California. Coincidentally, Seaver was the 1967 N.L. Rookie of the Year while Carew won the 1967 A.L. Rookie of the Year.
    In the early 1990s, who got to work with Rizzuto on WPIX-11 for Yankees games? Tom Seaver! R.I.P. Met legend.

    At the 1967 All-Star Game, Tom went up to Hank Aaron and introduced himself. Hank simply said “Kid, I know who you are, and before your career is over, I guarantee you everyone in this stadium will, too.” Truer words were never spoken. RIP Tom.

The memories of Riverfront stadium are some of the best I have and I miss those days spent with my family there watching the Reds and all of the teams that came through. Baseball was awesome back then and somehow it was more tangible, like I was a part of it.

    The greatest expansion era (after 1961) pitcher. Went 16-13 as a rookie with the Mets when they were the worst team in the NL. His ERA was under 3.00 in each of his 1st 7 seasons in MLB (only other to match that was G.C. Alexander). Won 20 5X, led NL in ERA 3X and SO 5X. His 2.86 career ERA is the lowest of any 300 game winner who pitched entirely in the live ball era (after 1920). His career total of 61 SHOs is topped by only Spahn (63) among live ball era pitchers. I have him at 7th greatest pitcher since 1900.

      In Seaver's first 13 seasons, he had an ERA under 3.00 in 11 of them. His highest ERA in his first 13 seasons was 3.20...But when you compare Seaver to all the great pitchers of his time: Gibson, Marichal, Carlton, Jenkins, Palmer, Sutton, Hunter, he had the worst run support of any of them!....Someone told me once that Seaver holds the record for the best winning percentage above the teams he played for than any one in history!
