Hail, Seaver!

Not a good picture of Casey, but the cover is only about him. And it was the first opener.

How many magazine covers you think Harry Craft, first manager of the Houston Colt .45s, was garnering? Just a reminder what a force of nature Casey Stengel was in establishing the Mets as a presence in this here market and league.
