Thank You, Tom
How sad. I grew up in NJ and was 14 in 1969 when the Mets won the World Series. So I remember all the excitement vividly. What a wonderful human being. I had heard he was struggling. Thank you, Tom, for leading that team the way you did.
Years later I got very lucky. I was at Yankee Stadium on August 4, 1985 and witnessed Tom winning his 300th game pitching for the White Sox. RIP.
P.S. for trivia fans. That same day, August 4, 1985, Rod Carew got his 3000th hit on the West Coast.
