Blind people come to the park just to hear him pitch.
-- Reggie Jackson
Tom Seaver, the greatest New York Met ever and one of the greatest pitchers who ever lived, died this week from what's being reported as complications arising from Lewy Body dementia and Covid-19.
The dementia had been reported previously and Seaver had withdrawn from public life. Tom Verducci wrote a very moving story last year about a reunion between Seaver and several of his teammates from the 1969 Miracle Mets. They were fortunate enough to catch Seaver on a good day, on a day when he could remember the times they'd had together and some of the amazing things he had done on the mound.
