Well, it's finally happened. As you know I've been a fan of the 300-win club for going over 15 years, and over the past ten years I've been trying to meet the living members of the milestone club and going to the graves of the deceased ones. Through my efforts I had been able to visit the graves of all of the 300-win members with graves and meet nine of the ten living members. The only one I was missing was George Thomas Seaver. He had never gone to a baseball card show, and I had never been able to go to Hall of Fame inductions where he had been in attendance quite regularly. Things became rocky when it became revealed that he had been dealing with the effects of Lyme disease, and then the news that he was retiring from public due to the diagnosis of dementia. That essentially killed my chances of ever meeting him, and the tragic news yesterday that Seaver had died from complications of COVID-19 on August 31, 2020 officially ended it. Now we are left to contemplate the legacy of one of the greatest pitchers of all time.
