...doom didn't stop Seaver's delivery from being any more or less than it had been. His arm speed was down and the hop on his pitches had diminished, but his motion remained tranquilly the same as that of the 22-year-old who burst onto the major league with a 16-13 campaign in 1967 with the woeful New York Mets...
