His boy is quick to correct anyone who says he played golf the way Tom pitches: "I pitch the way he played golf." Finding himself in New York now was another incredibility to Seaver. "Tom is really still a Met," Mets First Baseman Keith Hernandez insisted the next day as Seaver's former New York teammates bellied around a television set (equitably enough, in Chicago).
