The baseball community continues to mourn the loss of Hall of Fame pitcher Tom Seaver, who died Monday at the age of 75, leaving behind a legacy that will long outlast his time on the diamond.
“When I think of Tom Seaver, I think of the ultimate power pitcher,” says Roger Clemens, who shared the clubhouse with Seaver as teammates on the Red Sox during the final four months of the 1986 season. “I was so young then, only 23, and Tom was 41, but he was still pretty special. I used to watch as he would change speeds, change locations and use both sides of the plate.
