Summary

"Veteran sportswriter Bill Madden writes the definitive biography of a baseball and New York sports legend, Tom Seaver, voted into the Hall of Fame by the highest percentage vote ever at the time and still the most popular player in Mets history"--, Provided by publisherOne of the most talented and popular players in the history of baseball, Tom Seaver is one of only two pitchers with 300 wins, 3,000 strikeouts, and an ERA under 3.00. He was a three-time Cy Young award winner, twelve-time All Star, and was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame with the highest percentage ever at the time. Madden follows Seaver's career, from New York Mets in 1967, to the years with the Cincinnati Reds, and later playing for the White Sox and the Red Sox before ending his career following the 1986 season. He offers a deeply personal and fascinating portrait of one of the greatest and most admired players of all time. -- adapted from jacket
