| Tom Seaver at Shea Stadium in New York City, 1974 (Shelly S./Flicker |
Tom Seaver, the great major league pitcher who won over 300 games, primarily for the New York Mets, died on Sept. 2, 2020. He had been suffering from dementia for the past few years and had been out of the public spotlight.
Seaver was perhaps the best-known New York Met, who was that team's leading pitcher when it improbably won the World Series in 1969. But he had a difficult relationship with Mets ownership and was traded to Cincinatti in 1977.
He would end up on the South Side of Chicago, where he starred for Tony LaRussa and the White Sox in the mid-80s. Seaver won his 300th game as a member of the White Sox.
