A sad day for baseball with one of the Cincinnati greats showing signs of mortality....

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Sad, he was the one who gave the Mets their first case of respectability.

Tom epitomized class and the way a professional athlete should conduct himself. Sad news indeed.

Re: Seaver Diagnosed With Dementia
I remember him only as a Met. I couldn’t remember the team he was traded to till I read about this.

I only remember him as a Red - his Mets years were before my time (I can only remember back to roughly 1979 or so in terms of baseball, and I think 1980 was my first complete baseball card set.

He's a Met. Plain and simple.

In 1986 Tom Terrific played for both the White Sox and the Roid Sox.

Re: Seaver Diagnosed With Dementia
When I first became a baseball fan, Seaver was doing great things with the Reds, my favorite team....CAA Flagship wrote:SuperHornet wrote:A sad day for baseball with one of the Cincinnati greats showing signs of mortality....Why not one of the NY Mets greats? He was part of the 2 World Series teams in New York. None with Reds.

He was finished by the time he played for these 2.

Re: Seaver Diagnosed With Dementia
Red were the 3rd best team in the 1970's. Oakland and then the Yankees with several former Oakland players.

So the Reds sweeping the Yanks 4-0 in the World Series in 1976 just didn't count then?Gil Dobie wrote:Red were the 3rd best team in the 1970's. Oakland and then the Yankees with several former Oakland players.

Re: Seaver Diagnosed With Dementia
The 1976 Yankees didn't have the Straw that Stirred the Drink, Reggie Jackson, or Ron Guidry, or Bucky Dent, or Goose Gossage, or Mike Torres and a few other pay to play guys. Yankees pitching staff of 1977 & 78, was also a lot better than the Reds.GannonFan wrote:So the Reds sweeping the Yanks 4-0 in the World Series in 1976 just didn't count then?Gil Dobie wrote:Red were the 3rd best team in the 1970's.

Re: Seaver Diagnosed With Dementia
Pirates, Dodgers and Orioles also deserve some consideration as team of the 70s.
