Tom died Monday of COVID complicated by Lewy Body Dementia. He was 79.

Tom spent 5 years with the Reds
May he rest in peace

Tom terrific. 311 lifetime wins. 2.86 Era. 231 complete games. 3640 strikeouts. 61 shutouts. Threw his only no hitter as a Red.

231 complete games. That stat still blows my mind.

Yup

Pitchers regularly run out of steam in the 5th or even 4th inning today. Rest in peace Tom.

One of the greatest pitchers who ever lived.

Seaver holds the major league record striking 10 consecutive batters out. As a trivia answer...the ten batters were the last 10 batters in a 2-1 victory. He struck out the last batter in the 6th, and closed the game out striking out the side in the last three innings.
