Spring cleaning can be a chore, but when you discover old Mets related items it can be fun.
Among the rediscovered items were these two magazines from the summer of 1985 (right around when Seaver won his 300th game ).
The first is fr
om Inside Sports (anyone remember it?). A seven-page article (people actually read long articles back then) discusses the long careers of Seaver, Koosman, and Ryan. It still hurts when I read “Seaver is the heart of the White Sox.”
The second cover is – this is a surprise – People! Published the week after his 300th, this is a 2-page article (starting on page 41 of course). Shannon should particularly like this issue as it also features The Boss.
