Wonderfully random. I now own this.
Now if you look up Tom’s baseball card you won’t see a line for 1987 New York NL – but Tom did attempt a comeback with the Mets. He realized he didn’t have it and retired for good.
This turned up on eBay one day, and although it’s ridiculous I feared that this would become my white whale (much like the Lee Mazzilli Poster Day Poster has become.)
So I now own this – and I bet even Tom Seaver doesn’t have an 87 Seaver. If you see a fat guy wearing this…it’s probably me.
nice…let’s see more pics…the back…the tags
BTW, as I have said before, perhaps it is for the best that Seaver never stayed in 1984 or came back in 1987 to play for the self-proclaimed “scum bunch.” It would have been matter and anti-matter colliding. The links between 1969 and 1986 were Orosco being traded for Koosman and Bud Harrelson..that’s enough for me. What would Tom have been doing when the 86 Mets were trashing planes?
MP should give this jersey as a gift to his old buddy osh41 who alerted him to its presence on eBay! only fair I think………
