Happy Tom Seaver Day!

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

It's The Franchise's birthday! How are you celebrating?

I've only had the pleasure of meeting Tom three times. Here's a tale from the archives about getting his signature and posing for a photo.

And, if you are in the mood for something fun, a story about his 300th win.

I guess I'll celebrate by cheering for Madison Bumgarner.

Two years ago we traveled home from Australia on November 17th, starting the day in Melbourne, switching flights at LAX and finally landing that night at Newark. We figured that we were celebrating Tom Seaver's birthday longer than anyone else ever did, including Tom Seaver.

Met Seaver once and it was a Garth "I'm not worthy" moment.

Fuck Seaver.

Happy birthday Coach Boeheim.

I have a very rare Seaver autograph, should sell it on eBay.

She wasn't that good.
