A sidebar box on his shoulder, but no header or footer text floating over him. Hard. To. Beat. https://i.pinimg.com/236x/e0/27/0d/e0270d6a2cd3d58796046ddfc7edf357--sports-art-sports-illustrated.jpg> This terrific cover also annoyed the living shit out of me. It's Seaver's only TSN cover as a Met. Are you kidding me, TSN? TSN, the weekly that featured baseball players on its covers virtually year round. TSN would cover a marginal player over the NBA championship because it was baseball season. I mean, a player, if he was a baseball player, could get on that cover just by having two hot weeks. Ken Reitz was on the cover of TSN. So was Jorge Orta. And Milt Wilcox. And Gary Alexander. I'd bet anything that every one of Tom Seaver's contemporaries that was a first ballot no doubt about it Hall of Famer -- I'm talking guys like Bench and Reggie and Rod Carew and Steve Carlton -- probably made the cover of TSN at least three times. And Seaver, the greatest pitcher of his generation, maybe even the best player of his generation, gets just one Met cover. What a gyp. I'm sure at some point he told someone to fuck off and that's why they never used him again.
