You’ll have to check out this link to read it but here’s a pair of newspaper articles from June 1, 1977 – Joe Torre has been named manager of the New York Mets (I remember that guy, he was terrible and couldn’t win with talent like Lee Mazzilli, he will never make it) – and Dick Young asks Torre about trading Tom Seaver. Who in their right mind would trade Tom Seaver?
What’s interesting is you read the Young article and you come away kinda agreeing with Young – yeah Seaver is being greedy man! (I don’t know if he was, but Young fires me up.) As I mentioned yesterday, imagine you had Francesa and Kay calling Seaver names all afternoon or Rubin poking at him or angry fat bloggers in their own basement (it’s my basement not my mothers basement).
When did this site switch to an all-Seaver format by the way?
Seaver makes an apperance on the most recent version of Mets monopoly.
this is clearly one of those posts to get the young-ins more involved 🙂
Total dick young spin job..Seaver had every right to talk to the mets front office about opening up there wallets for some good players. not only for his career but for the good of the team. think about how many more games seaver could have won if he played on a decent mets team from 75-77…
