Seaver’s 20-year career was decorated with accolades such as a Rookie of the Year award, 12 all-star appearances, the 1969 World Series title and 311 wins., but also spent time with the Chicago White Sox, Cincinnati Reds and Boston Red Sox. “I am deeply saddened by the death of Tom Seaver, one of the greatest pitchers of all-time,” MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. “Tom was a gentleman who represented the best of our National Pastime. He was synonymous with the New York Mets and their unforgettable 1969 season. After their improbable World Series Championship, Tom became a household name to baseball fans – a responsibility he carried out with distinction throughout his life.
“On behalf of Major League Baseball, I extend my condolences to Tom’s family, his admirers throughout our game, Mets fans, and the many people he touched.”
