I'm a Phightin' Phils phan (born and raised in DelCo), but I rue never having seen Tom Terrific pitch except on TV. Prayers up for the Seavers.

One of the first games that I saw in person was at the Vet, and during that game Seaver threw his 1,000th strikeout. I must admit, it felt a little bit lonely to be a Mets fan there, but it was very enjoyable when they won the game.

This diagnosis is a damned shame. Of course, he’s not unique, this strikes people in all walks of life and steals away a true person while their body still lives. I am very fortunate to have never had a parent or grandparent with this awful disease. My heart goes out to Seaver and to his family. Father Time is stealing another one of my boyhood heroes.

I saw him pitch in Connie Mack a few times.
