We see Tom Seaver’s 1977 Topps card just below. I like the photograph and the simplicity of the team’s uniform. It was the last card issued during his initial tenure with the team. How his banishment to the Cincinnati Reds unfolded has been told too many times to be repeated here. As for myself, let me say that after the trade, which I equated to God trading Jesus, I didn’t return to Shea until Tom Seaver was reacquired in 1983.
