Tom Seaver on Leaving New York 

I love that man. RIP George Thomas the GOAT starting pitcher.

Seaver was a very emotional man and wasn't afraid to show it. I will never forgive the Mets for letting the Franchise go.

The way Tom got emotional just by talking about something that happened 35 years earlier. Damn...

I remember this, it was my last day of school of 4th grade. With the Reds getting Seaver, we were sure Cincy was going to make it to 1977 WS.

this was great. where can I find the full interview?

My personal opinion is that the Mets ownership and front office have never deserved either the players or the fans they've had. Never. People who played and cheered their hearts out for their beloved team only to be disrespected over and over again. It's really a shame.

I never understood why the front office did him this way..they obviously at that time didn't want to win

Even years later after he was well retired he is still emotional and upset about being traded. This is by far the worst decision the mets front office made.

Ted Williams, Stan Musial, Mickey Mantle all played for just one team. Seaver should have also, just so stupid.

Straight-up labor issue! When the owner calls you communist, especially back then. Grant wanted to set an example of who was in charge. Typical of the war between owners v. players, back then! Man, was that a bad example.....!!!!!!!!
