Tom Seaver - Biography
George Thomas "Tom" Seaver (born November 17, 1944), nicknamed "Tom Terrific" and "The Franchise", is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He pitched from 1967-1986 for four different teams in his career, but is noted primarily for his time with the New York Mets. During a 20-year career, Seaver compiled 311 wins, 3,640 strikeouts, 61 shutouts and a 2.86 earned run average. In 1992, he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the highest percentage ever recorded (98.84%), and has the only plaque at Cooperstown wearing a New York Mets hat. As of 2010, Tom Seaver and Gil Hodges (played for the Mets in 1962-63) are the only Met players to have their jersey numbers retired by the team (Gil Hodges' number was retired as a manager even though he also played for the Mets).
Seaver married Nancy Lynn McIntyre on June 9, 1966. They are parents of two daughters, Sarah and Annie. They live in Calistoga, California, where he started his own 3.5-acre (14,000 m2) vineyard, Seaver Family Vineyards, on his 116-acre (0.47 km2) estate in 2002. His first vintage was produced in 2005. He presented his two cabernets, "Nancy's Fancy" and "GTS," at an April 2010 wine-tasting event in SoHo, to positive reviews.
In 1991, Seaver was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which caused Bell's palsy. In 2012, after a period of lying dormant in his system, the disease reoccurred. He suffered from loss of memory — not even remembering long term acquaintances; "sleep disorder, nausea, and a general overall feeling of chemical imbalance." In January 2013, Seaver was diagnosed with Stage 3 of the disease. As of that July, after a treatment regimen of mostly vitamins, Seaver was feeling much better. According to former teammate Bud Harrelson, Seaver has "some short-term memory loss, but is otherwise doing well."
On March 7, 2019, Seaver's family announced that he is suffering from dementia and will retire from public life.
