Death of Tom Seaver

"Condolences to the Family... Humble and Kind Great Man Great Athlete !!!"

"I grew up in Conn. idolizing Tom Seaver. you would never "trade' his baseball card, and always tried to mimick his motion when pitching. When the family would drive to NY to visit family, my brother and I would look at the cars on the highway as we drove through Greenwich hoping we would see him. I was 13, mad and scared, and I was one of those who called Shea stadium making arguments on why they should not trade him. I listened to Lindsey Nelson, Bob Murphy and Ralph Kiner on radio the night they did trade him and cried. I met Mr. Seaver in Florida many years later, he was only supposed to sign 1 item, but he saw I had a poster and signed both, spent time with me, and made me feel like I really knew him. He was and will always be my hero, as he was to so many and truly a role model we can all look up to!! may he rest in peace!

"Growing up in the early 70’s as a teenager, Tom Seaver was my Favorite player and who I tried my best to emulate on the mound when pitching. I loved his full windup and power. He was a classy man as much as he was a great pitcher. My thoughts and prayers are with the Seaver Family and I appreciate you allowing Mr Seaver’s fans to pass on our condolences. RIP Tom, the baseball world has lost the greatest pitcher I ever saw. God Bless"

"When I was a kid, I met Tom Seaver. I asked if he would sign my baseball card, which he did gladly, all smiles. Instead of signing and being on his way, he took time to stand there chatting with me. What I will always remember was his extraordinary kindness and the respect that he showed me, this pesky 10 year old kid and total stranger. It was one of the shining moments of my youth and a lesson in humility that I carry with me to this day.
May God grant Tom Seaver eternal rest, and bless and comfort his family and friends.
