TOM SEAVER METS QUOTE OF THE DAY
Today's Mets Quote of the Day is brought to you by the greatest of all Mets, Tom Seaver. Not a funny one but a philosophical one. Good to mix it up every once in awhile

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."

Five Great Tom Seaver Quotes
Much of my blog will be dedicated to the great quotes of the Mets. Who better to start with than the greatest Met of all...Tom Terrific. The man who turned a team from a national joke into a national treasure.
Five Great Tom Seaver Quotes
1) "Blind people came to the park just to listen to him pitch."
---Reggie Jackson, on Seaver
2) "If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam."
--Tom Seaver, getting political, after the 1969 World Series
3) "My idea of managing is giving the ball to Tom Seaver and sitting down and watching him work."
---Sparky Anderson, Reds Manager, on having Seaver pitch for them (I am still angry at the Mets for ever trading Seaver)
4) "There are only two places in the league---first place and no place."
--Tom Seaver
5) "God is living in New York, and he's a Met fan."
--Tom Seaver, during the legendary 1969 Championship run
Random Thoughts:
Only saw a little of today's game. Still remain optimistic, but come on, the Mets were baffled by Livian Hernandez. That guy has been around since the Truman Administration. Should have taken two of three. At least, Jacobs got off the snide.
