One of the greatest pitchers of all-time, Hall of Famer Tom Seaver, passed away on Monday at his home in California after a battle with COVID-19 and dementia. The announcement came from his wife on Wednesday evening. He was 75 years old.
Seaver is best remembered for leading the ‘Mircale Mets’ to the world championship in 1969. He was a first ballot Hall of Famer and was inducted into Cooperstown in 1992. Seaver also played for the Cincinnati Reds, Chicago White Sox, and Boston Red Sox and finished with 311 career wins that puts him 18th on the all-time list. Other career achievements include the 1967 Rookie of the Year, three time ERA champion, three time CY Young Award winner, and 12 time All-Star. His 3,640 strikeouts are the sixth most in history, and he still owns the record for most consecutive batters struck out with 10. The story from TMZ can be read below:
