Tom Seaver was a complete Class Act, regardless of which uniform he wore (New York Metropolitans, Cincinnati Redlegs, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox), Seaver's MLB playing career spanned from 1967 to ''86. He was the original "Tom Terrific." R.I.P.

Greatest Right Hander of the Modern era( post 1945). period. Took pitching to an "Art Form". This was a fantastic interview. Seaver, always humble and passing accolades to others. You may be gone, but you Impacted lives that you will never know about. THAT, in an of itself, is a TRUE measure of " Hall Of Fame" worthiness. Role Model par excellance!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom Seaver was a GREAT MAN and COMPETITOR. Young players need to watch and listen to MEN like this. All the skill and potentiality FADES away, IF, you don't humbly LEARN HOW TO BE A PROFESSIONAL. Thank You Tom Seaver. As RARE a PROFESSIONAL as you will ever come across.

Best interview I ever saw of Tom Terrific. Tom is fun, engaging and really gave us the best insight into his life and times. However, this interview also made me angrier at M. Donald Grant. Going behind Gil Hodges back and trading Nolan Ryan and always disrespecting George Thomas Seaver? May Grant rot in F’ing Hell along with Dick (appropriately named) Young. Thank you, Tom for all you did in your career. I was fortunate enough to see you pitch live in person many times. May God bless you and your family always.

I truly love this interview as well. There doesn’t seem to be this style on TV anymore; no noise, limited video clips, very calm atmosphere. Also, Gary Apple does a good job of steering the discussion and asking thoughtful questions while just letting Tom Terrific answer on his own time.

Loved it when Tom would be on “Kiner’s Korner” after yet another victory. If he got a key hit or a home run, that’s all he wanted to talk about!

Considering how many horrible Mets teams he pitched for where they gave him no support, he still managed an amazing record and career. He really was the best RHP of that era, where there were dozens of great pitchers.

Seaver is one of a handful of MLB players to earn ROY and CY awards and win a World Series in his first three seasons. Further Trivia: who is the only player in history to win ROYand CY award and win a WS in his first season? Answer: Fernando Valenzuela, 1981.

Had the slip of paper said Phillies (Bunning, Short) or Indians (McDowell, Hargan, Tiant, Bell, Siebert) would have meant longer time to get in rotation. Mets had veterans to be replaced.⚾️
