It's funny, because I only really "remember" Seaver in his twilight years -- appearing as a "super veteran" in the 1983 Topps series, winning 300 with the White Sox, not pitching in the 1986 Series -- and it wasn't until much later that I really came to appreciate what "The Franchise" was really all about. Ironically - I was looking through a box of cards for something else the other night, and came across a 1968 Topps Seaver that I didn't even know I had. In retrospect, that was a little creepy. It's a seawolf sighting! I know. With him and dino j revisiting, it's quite the wake.
