fox sports films is to be commended for producing a documentary celebrating this great man, great sports figure.
Watching this with tears in my eyes.....not sure if it's because I was priveleged to grow up watching him and his greatness,or because he should have never been able to leave the Mets,ever! He was a once in a lifetime talent to me,idolized from the first time I saw him. Thank you George Thomas Seaver for many,many great memories and thrills
That is my hand holding the 1969 Game 4 World Series Stub. My Mom got to go to the game. Watching Seaver pitch was mesmerizing.
Hes the best I ever saw
Tom Seaver was the best pitcher I ever saw pitch.
With you all the way been a Met fan since I was 8 first game in 1967 Mets-Braves with Seaver pitching. What a time to be a Met fan!
I grew up all about Seaver. Mets should have never let him go.
RIP #41
chills watching this. the 69 victory is unreal
RIP Tom Seaver. So many thrills. So many memories. Your legacy will live on to the end of time. ❤
I'm a Yankee fan, but Tom was THE Franchise. He made those boys in Flushing, a WINNER !! Straight Class !! Exemplary Human Being and masterful pitcher. #41 was one of a kind.
My all time favorite player. When I was a kid I emulated his pitching motion. I wanted to be a left handed Tom Seaver.
I was 5 when the Mets traded him to the Reds. I can remember my mom crying about it. Hindsight being 20/20, I say that without that trade, Seaver probably would have just missed 300 wins. The 1977-1983 Mets were a BAD team. Jerry Koosman pitched well in 1977 and 78.. he was 8-20 in 1977 and 3-15 in 1978.. He was traded to the Twins, had comparable overall stats (ERA, innings pitched, Strikeouts, walks, etc..) and won 20 games in 1979. Seaver's career win total also would have taken a hit if he stayed with the Mets. He still would have been a Hall of Fame pitcher, but I think he would have finished with around 290 wins.
And if the Mets didn't blunder and leave him available after 1983, Davey Johnson wouldn't have gotten the OK to bring up a teenager named Dwight Gooden in 1984. Even without Seaver, Johnson had to convince Frank Cashen to give Gooden a spot on the opening day roster. Cashen wanted Gooden to pitch a full season at Tidewater (Gooden had about a month of AAA experience in 83) before coming to Queens. If Seaver stayed, there wouldn't have been a spot in the rotation.
Then again... if the Mets had a decent offense in the 1970's, he would likely ended up with 330-350 wins... He lost many games 1-0 or 2-1 because the Mets were a below average offensive team!
I love all of the intelligent points that you've made which are spot on. It seems that Seaver's return to the Mets in 1983 marked a turning point in Mets history although that year the Mets were so bad that their manager George Bamberger quit during the season, noting that the Mets weren't even ready for the instructional league. Darryl Strawberry was brought up during the 1983 season, the Mets acquired Keith Hernandez and Dwight Gooden joined the parent club the following year. Every Met fan saw the handwriting on the wall and that the Mets would soon be contenders if not great. But it would have been great fun to see Tom with a contending Mets team again and especially with those exciting young players. Alas when the Mets did reach the 1986 World Series, Tom was an injured and disabled player for the Red Sox and was clearly near the end of his career.
"...blue for the Dodgers and orange for the Giants." The Mets ended up with the greatest colors combination, love their uniform.
Let’s not forget that the Mets home uniforms have pinstripes and that was done as a nod to the Yankees so all 3 teams are represented by the Mets.
@@johnschaefer2238 Let's not also forget that the name "Metropolitans" or "Mets" came from a old 19th Century American Association team called the New York Metropolitans, who ironically was owned by a man (John B. Day) who also owned the New York Giants in the National League, and when they ceased operations, the franchise was brought by the Brooklyn Bridegrooms (now know as The Dodgers) and was then merge. How ironic is that?
What a terrific video. Very touching !
A guy who I used to work with was a member of the Reds ground crew when Tom pitched for Cincinnati.
He always talked about what a classy man Tom Seaver was. R.I.P Tom !
I remember watching Tom's first start for the Reds as they faced the Montreal Expos on the _NBC Saturday Game Of The Week_ . Tom pitched a 3-hit shutout. In the wake of the trauma surrounding his departure from New York, Tom remained Tom, the archetypal professional athlete.
One did not have to be a Mets fan to appreciate #41. This is a great video. Also one of the great love stories. Kudos to Nancy for advising Tom to get his 300th win. RIP
Incredibly stupid how my Mets handled Seaver by letting him go not once but twice. One of the greatest ever to pitch. Great documentary and we still miss him.
Though at least the second time he went to my White Sox. And as a hardcore Mets/Sox/Seaver fan, it was awesome to have him in Chitown!
@@darwinblinksAt least he won his 300th game with the Sox, beating the Yankees by his uniform number (41) 4-1.
this is just great, thank you so much for posting this
I still remember the day when Seaver was traded to the Reds it was a shock
Sad day , very sad day , when the Mets traded Tom Seaver ,, just like when the Knicks traded Walt "Clyde" Frazier ......
That is beautiful ❤️ thank you Tom 😍😍
Tom Terrific, one of the greatest.
Was the greatest pitcher of my lifetime. As a kid pitching I tried my hardest to get that right knee dirty! My favorite player behind Johnny Bench
you must have been a 77 reds fan. bench was always on the reds but getting seaver was too good to be true, like viewing the 27 yankees before puberty began. it was all downhill from there....
@@marcyfan-tz4wj i became a Reds fan in 1972. Im from California the A’s were my team until I saw Johnny Bench Pete Rose and that’s when I switched teams as a 7 year old boy
the reds almost got vida blue from the a's prior to getting seaver but baseball commisioner didn't allow it. i took joe morgan for granted while he was a red which only an idiot does. bench was rude to my family but i never met him so how he was off the field didn't matter. i knew the a's and red sox especially were stacked teams. you would have been crazy not to notice the reds as i did the a's!@@danielbalderas3548
Wow just wow , so grateful to have come across this video , Tom Seaver was probably the best pitcher of the Mets history , unfortunately they treated him poorly , and traded him away once and then left him unprotected and available to another team , his love for the Mets wasn't returned by them ! Listen on the radio and watched many games at Shea stadium and on TV , in the 70's , was always great to see Tom Seaver pitch , yes he was always Terrific 💯👍🤙🛐💚💚💛☪️❤️🕉️
Tom Seaver was arguably the best ever. A real winner. I feel bad for his wife Nancy. She was always there for him. Hopefully she is well.
Our local hero from Fresno. We always watched his games on TV. I would drive my car from Fresno to San Francisco, Oakland, Los Ángeles and Anaheim just to see him pitch. The best pitcher ever, #41, Tom Seaver.
Tom Seaver my all time favorite New York Met and baseball player 💙⚾🌹
Why his HOF plaque doesn’t have ‘Tom Terrific’ makes no sense.😳⚾️
what a thumbnail Hodges, Koosman, Seaver, Ryan. Over 800 MLB wins
The greatest pitcher of all time
He was 1 of the best, for sure.
Right behind Gibson , Koufax , Ryan , and Carlton.
Better than Ryan and Carlton for sure. It the Mets were able to score a few more runs for him over the years, he would have won 350-360 games!
I don't know why Tom Seaver is not my favorite Met of all time - he should be. My favorite Met of All Time never got a hit and never pitched an inning. My favorite All Time Met is Bob Murphy.
Oh, thanks for the "Happy recap"!!
RALPH KINER once called SEAVER'S pitching as POETEY IN MOTION.
2:22. Mike Vaccaro said that from 1947-57 a New York team was in the World Series every year. He's right, with the exception of 1948 when the participants were the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Braves. And if it wasn't for Cleveland winning the one game playoff with the Red Sox, 1948 would have been the only all Boston World Series.
To me the original “Tom Terrific.” I love that his wife met him in high school and they were together after baseball.
Merci beaucoup pour l'histoire de Fox Sports❤❤❤❤❤❤😊❤❤❤❤❤
Millions of blessings,
Esther St Juste
Jerry Grote never gets any credit for handling this pitching staff.
I remember when he came to Cincinnati. What a thrill it was to see him wear a Reds uniform.
OMG so many memories
No current starting pitcher today can compare to what TOM SEAVER did in complete games, shutouts, strikeouts etc.
No, but Sandy Koufax could.
sry. if she has passed im sry. but she really was beautiful
What a great wife TS had.
The worst organization in baseball history. From 1962 till today.
Here's a few examples. I have a hundred.
Tom's greatest game was when he struck out 19 batters.
I saw that game live. Words can't describe how dominating he was. Did the N.Y. Mets save this game for posterity?
Heck no! Did they save many other great games? Same answer.
Yankees organization saved their historic games going back to the 1950s.
They traded Seaver twice.
When the Mets commemorated that statue in honor of Tom Seaver, they did it on Jackie Robinson day. All the main speakers including the new billionaire owner, talked about Robinson first. Taking the day away from Tom Seaver & his family. What's the matter, you couldn't give Tom his own day???
They traded Nolan Ryan.
They traded Tug MaGraw.
They traded Ken Singleton.
They trade Amos Otis.
They hire 2 clown sideshow manages, Stengal & Berra.
The ownership was never serious about winning.
Always a gimmic!
Seaver was right when he said "the worst thing that ever happened to the Mets was when Gil Hodges died". If he lived, the Mets would of been a dynasty in the 1980s with that amazing team. Instead Davey Johnson who was a terrible manager let that 80s team have constant drug parties.
Two World Series wins in 60 years? The WORST franchise in baseball history!!!
Tom Seaver, who I saw pitch, gave me & others great joy &
memories. He was the greatest pitcher I ever saw. Rest well Tom. I pray I get to see you some day.
God Bless Nancy, the girls & family!
Oh man! I didn't know they didn't save those games. What about WOR? Do tapes still exist? 😢
My dad's favorite player. When I had to do my first book report in elementary school, I picked a Tom Seaver biography.
Thank G. the filmmakers didn't crop the archival footage for widescreen!
Great to see the historic footage as it was filmed.
PBS presents all their historic footage in ws, which is why I didn't watch the Clemente film
One of a kind. Best pitching motion and windup you'll ever see. RIP Tom .
Used to watch Tom Seaver @ Shea Stadium in Queens, NYC. Tom Seaver. Ink i.u78m ppl lol l😅
Man would have had many more wins if he played for a team that scored more than 2 runs a game for him. I remember hiim losing 1-0 and 2-1 more than any pitcher in history
Yes, but you can say the same for Sandy Koufax. The Dodgers of his time couldn't hit either. The championships they won then were due mostly to great pitching (primarily Koufax and Drysdale)
Oh man! I wish they showed the game where he pitched a no- hitter and LOST the game on a strikeout that went by the catcher and allowed the winning run to score. 1-0!
Iirc he wasn't credited with a no- hitter because he didn't get 27 outs😮
Wish they showed the game he struck out the LAST TEN MEN to bat! I think he struck out a record 19 batters
Tom 'Terrific' Seaver.
1969 World Series Champion.
Hall Of Fame
_____
The Yankees won over the Braves in 1958.
What's that got to do with this video?
Weaver lived in my neighborhood when a rookie. I remember that house Nancy posed in front of!
Wonderful tribute to this great pitcher. As a Pirate fan back then, I detested but respected this talented man!
Jerry Koosman was already 20 years old in 1962 and therefore not is high school
The ORIGINAL Franchise dude !!
The greatest pitcher of all time
Possibly.
Tom sevar and Nolan Ryan once combined in two days for 26 ks 😗
@@barbaracaroll was 26 against the padres thier combined career 9354
@@barbaracaroll well i don't have to post who has more. it was just cool that the two power pitchers combined for that
@@barbaracaroll your wrong. Ryan struck out 16 in the doubleheader. between them.
And on one day in 1971, the two Mets teammates showed off their talent together by striking out 26 of the 54 Padres they retired in a doubleheader sweep.
On May 29, 1971, Seaver and Ryan were the Mets’ starting pitchers in a twinbill against San Diego - a team that hit just .233 that season, scoring a National League-low 486 runs.
In the opener, Seaver allowed just seven hits and one run in nine innings, striking out 10 batters in New York’s 5-1 victory. The win improved Seaver’s record to 6-2 on the season - a year in which he would go 20-10 with a career-best 1.76 earned-run average and a career-high 289 strikeouts.But the Mets’ pitchers were just getting started. In the nightcap, the San Diego fans were treated to a glimpse of the future when Nolan Ryan struck out 16 Padres in New York’s 2-1 victory. Ryan allowed only four hits and one unearned run while improving to 6-1 on the season. ...... that's why. i was just going to let it go, but no. your wrong that's why🙃 he actually out pitched seaver as he would go in and do for his career😉 as usual Ryan had no run support 🙄
@@barbaracaroll i just like to remind mets fans you traded Ryan for b who🤔 I'm an old man i saw them both😉
@@barbaracaroll now you don't care🙄 ok kids, seemed to care before, Ryan asked to be traded hated new York. hated the pitching coach🙄 it's ok kids I'll take eithier, and the mets had both. but you know? the mets 🤣🥳
Well done.
Seaver's huge ego cost the Mets the 73 series....
With respect to Jackie, it's time to rename that rotunda.......
Lol no it's not
@@jay5286 ....yes, it's time. Jackie was NOT a Met. There's plenty of ex-Mets deserving of having the rotunda named after them.
@@bobwhammer4237 At the end of the day the Mets don't exist without bitter Dodgers and Giants fans and I feel that needs to be appreciated more rather than less without those fans being alive to express that.
I noticed that when Seaver was working on a perfect game Randy Huntley tried to break it up by bunting in the ninth. That would never happen today under baseball’s “unwritten” rules.

Giants steal the pennant is more truthful 😂😮😂
