My Take
Tom Seaver is one of those names that transcends his sport. "Tom Terrific," "the Franchise" — the nicknames alone tell you how completely he defined the Mets, and his role in the 1969 Miracle Mets remains one of baseball's great stories. A Fresno kid out of USC who pitched twenty MLB seasons and reached the Hall of Fame, he represents the pitcher's craft at its most cerebral and durable. What I admire is the combination of intelligence and stamina; he wasn't merely gifted but relentlessly studious about his trade. His passing in 2020 closed a chapter, but his standing among the greatest pitchers ever feels utterly permanent to me.
