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.

[McC]

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.
