Seems there is a new book called Tom Seaver And Me.
The folks at Marketwatch have an interview with the author from which I except. It’s an interesting interview and worth clicking through
When he first retired, he was frustrated with all of the bull**** jobs he was doing: signing autographs for money, being an announcer on TV, which he was never really that good at or liked. And he got his vineyard [Seaver Vineyards on Diamond Mountain in Calistoga, Calif.] which he was so excited about — and now he can’t enjoy it.
He finally got to his retirement age, from 70 to whatever he has left [Seaver is now 75], he should have been enjoying the hell out of his life. And the idea that either he isn’t, or doesn’t know what’s going on, I just don’t think that was fair for a guy like him. I always think I’m so lucky that I’m still doing what I love to do, and I’m doing it at a certain level.
