I am going to guess many of you have read Pat Jordan"s interview with Tom Seaver 12/13. I just stumbled on to it.

Totally fascinating chat by two friends about life and baseball.

Loved this.

No doubt where Tom stands on pitch counts and pitching changes.

My dad and I always loved his laugh
His "evil cackle"!

One of the first things about D-Dad when I met him is that he has a Tom Seaver laugh

[Guest cooby]

Yeah he does

I really love this article. Tom was not my favorite early 70's Met, but I have always had such respect for him. I love how human this makes him seem.

That Sarah had Hodgkin's breaks my heart. I hope she's okay. If I can find a certain picture of Tom, Nancy and Sarah, I will post it here.

Nancy, of course, is my idol.

Sarah, Nancy, Tom, and Anne, Cooperstown, 1992.

I remember when Sarah was born....

The picture I remember is a robust blond toddler on the front of Parade. Can't find it but it was early 70's. She can't be more than 10 years younger than me. I loved the Seavers.

I couldn't find that one (yet), but this photo cracks me up -

Got to get my hands on that magazine. It looks to be a WW treasure trove.

[Guest cooby]

That's the one! Isn't she adorable?

Incredibly
