The fact that his death was sort of buried in the sports news of the day by a lot of the media is nuts. He was a force on the field and an unbelievable ambassador off the field. Man what a pitcher - Game 4 of the 69 Series - complete game 10 inning performance that we will never see again. Up 1-0, gives up the tying run in the top of the 9th ( i think he hit in the 8th inning). Well over 100 pitches, goes out for the 10th and strands two runners. Mets win in the bottom of the 10th. Today that same circumstance would take an hour, burn 5 pitchers, and result in 25 new stats.

No Met, Yankee or any other NY sports personality was a bigger star than Seaver in NYC and nobody (Jeter included) handled it better on and off the field.

Look at the numbers guys like Bench and Schmidt had off of him. HIs numbers are unreal and had to be as his run support was Degrom-esque. I'm not even a Met fan but a part of my youth died yesterday and its a part that today's youth will never experience.
