Signed Tom Seaver Memorabilia

 

Former right-handed Major League Baseball pitcher, George Thomas Seaver was born on November 17, 1944 in Fresno, California. He was nicknamed “Tom Terrific” and “The Franchise”. He joined the United States Marine Corps Reserves in June 28, 1962.

 

In 1966, he inked a contract with the Atlanta Braves, who had drafted him number one. He spent one season with the Jacksonville Suns of the International League, and then in 1967, he joined New York. In 1969, he won a league-high 25 games and his first National League Cy Young Award. He was presented with both the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of the year, and Sportsman of the Year of Sports Illustrated magazine. On April 22, 1970, he set a modern major league record by striking out the final 10 San Diego Padres batters of the game. Seaver had three more twenty-win seasons: 20 in 1971, 21 in 1972, and 22 in 1975. He also received two more Cy Young Awards.

 

The Mets sent Seaver to the Cincinnati Reds on the 15th of June, 1977. He finished the season with 21 wins. After the 1982 season on the 16th of December, 1982, he was traded back to the Mets. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on January 7, 1992. When he retired for baseball, he has sometimes been a television color commentator, working variously for the Mets, Yankees and with Vin Scully in 1989 for NBC Sports. He also worked as a spring training pitching coach.
