This article really opened my eyes to how badly the Mets botched their relationship with Tom Seaver. Multiple times. Stunning. No wonder at the end of his life Seaver had mixed feelings towards the organization. The single most important player in the history of the franchise. Simply staggering. Imagine the Yankees treating Jeter or Mantle like this, or the Bulls treating Michael Jordan. Really mind boggling in the degree of ineptness over many years.
A good read and a breathaking photo I have never seen before.
