The 1969 Mets are one of the greatest stories in baseball history. And Tom was the keystone of that team. Such a great figure, fine and decent man.

I miss baseball. I would say it died in 1994/95 for me.

I attended Alexander Hamilton Junior High School in Fresno, CA in 1969. Tom had been at the school about ten years prior to my being there. We had many of the same teachers. My geography teacher was his first little league coach

The librarian had a little black and white TV and faulty and students would run in to the library between classes to get the latest score. Remember that's when the games were on during the day.

I cannot adequately describe the pride and excitement the school and faculty had with the Mets winning the World Series that year. What a joyous and special time. When baseball was really baseball

Seaver was a great husband, father and incredible ambassador to the sport of baseball.

RIP Tom Seaver, you were truly Tom Terrific.
