Happy Birthday Tom Seaver Featuring a Great Quote

To Met fans, today should be a national holiday---the birthday of the greatest Met of them all---Tom Seaver.  Hard to believe the greatest player in Mets history turns 72 today. Seems like just yesterday he and his wife Nancy were doing commercials for Royal Crown Cola (boy I am dating myself).

311 Wins, Three Cy Young Awards and the leader of the most improbable World Series team in baseball history---what a legacy for Tom Terrific.

Who better to provide the Tom Seaver Birthday Quote of the Day than from the greatest catcher of all-time, Johnny Bench.

Bench said of Tom Seaver, "The best pitcher I ever caught---smarter than all of them."
