I am going to guess many of you have read Pat Jordan"s interview with Tom Seaver 12/13. I just stumbled on to it.

Totally fascinating chat by two friends about life and baseball.

No doubt where Tom stands on pitch counts and pitching changes.

One of the first things about D-Dad when I met him is that he has a Tom Seaver laugh

Re: The Constant Gardener

I really love this article. Tom was not my favorite early 70's Met, but I have always had such respect for him. I love how human this makes him seem.

That Sarah had Hodgkin's breaks my heart. I hope she's okay. If I can find a certain picture of Tom, Nancy and Sarah, I will post it here.

Nancy, of course, is my idol.

The picture I remember is a robust blond toddler on the front of Parade. Can't find it but it was early 70's. She can't be more than 10 years younger than me. I loved the Seavers.

Got to get my hands on that magazine. It looks to be a WW treasure trove.
